Maximum in 66°07'39.2"N, 48°21'47.4"E This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 66°07'39.2"N, 48°21'47.4"E. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 66°07'39.2"N, 48°21'47.4"E 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.
