Maximum in 60°11'26.2"N, 20°03'28.3"E This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 60°11'26.2"N, 20°03'28.3"E. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 60°11'26.2"N, 20°03'28.3"E because the Moon is below the horizon at that time.
Since the Moon is near the horizon at this time, we recommend going to a high point or finding an unobstructed area with free sight to West-southwest for the best view of the eclipse.

6:30 am Fri, Aug 28 Setting Moonset Setting, but the combination of a very low moon and the total eclipse phase makes the Moon so dim before it sets, that it might disappear from view some time before it sets. Map direction West-southwest 250°

The curvature of the shadow's path and the apparent rotation of the Moon's disk is due to the Earth's rotation.
