7:11 am Sun, Dec 31
Maximum in 31°19'37.2"N, 108°58'05.3"W This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 31°19'37.2"N, 108°58'05.3"W. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 31°19'37.2"N, 108°58'05.3"W 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-northwest for the best view of the eclipse.
