Maximum in Tegucigalpa This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Tegucigalpa. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Tegucigalpa 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 East-northeast for the best view of the eclipse. 		Map direction East-northeast 66°

How to use altitude & direction to find in the sky

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

The total phase of this lunar eclipse is not visible in Tegucigalpa, but it can be observed there as a partial lunar eclipse. The Earth's shadow covers a large portion of the Moon, so this is still a nice sight.

Cloud Coverage (Dec 20)
