Penumbral Eclipse beginsThe Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face.
Maximum in DivoThis is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Divo. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Divo because the Moon is below the horizon at that time. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to West.

Setting
MoonsetSetting, but the combination of a very low moon and the total eclipse phase makes the Moon so dim before it sets, that it might disappear from view some time before it sets.
The curvature of the shadow's path and the apparent rotation of the Moon's disk is due to the Earth's rotation.
The total phase of this lunar eclipse was not visible in Divo, but it could be observed there as a partial lunar eclipse. The Earth's shadow covered a large portion of the Moon, so this was still a nice sight.
