The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Narrow Passage because the Moon is below the horizon at that time. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East. | 100° | 1.6° | |

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.
