Total Eclipse ends Total moon eclipse ends.
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 for the best view of the eclipse.
Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see.

Maximum in 26°32'10.4"N, 89°47'44.4"E This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 26°32'10.4"N, 89°47'44.4"E. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 26°32'10.4"N, 89°47'44.4"E because the Moon is below the horizon at that time.
Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point.

The curvature of the shadow's path and the apparent rotation of the Moon's disk is due to the Earth's rotation.
