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