Maximum in Winston-SalemThis is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Winston-Salem. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Winston-Salem 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.
