Maximum in DoleThis is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Dole. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Dole 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-southwest for the best view of the eclipse.

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.
