Total Eclipse ends Total moon eclipse ends.
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 for the best view of the eclipse.
Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see.

Maximum in 23°43'15"N, 90°25'43"E This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 23°43'15"N, 90°25'43"E. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 23°43'15"N, 90°25'43"E because the Moon is below the horizon at that time.
Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East.
