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 Southeast 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.

The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 57°41'43.6"N, 135°38'20.9"E because the Moon is below the horizon at that time.
