Maximum in 10°55'00.6"S, 62°50'36.3"W This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 10°55'00.6"S, 62°50'36.3"W. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 10°55'00.6"S, 62°50'36.3"W because the Moon is below the horizon at that time.
Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point.
