Maximum in 68°33'21.2"N, 65°38'36.2"E This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 68°33'21.2"N, 65°38'36.2"E. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 68°33'21.2"N, 65°38'36.2"E 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.
