Maximum in 30°35'35.1"N, 114°18'19.2"E This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 30°35'35.1"N, 114°18'19.2"E. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 30°35'35.1"N, 114°18'19.2"E because the Moon is below the horizon at that time.
Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point.
