The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like in Basse-Terre. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times are local time (AST) for Basse-Terre.

Time	Phase	Event	Direction	Altitude
4:02 am Tue, Nov 8		Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face.	280°	27.6°
5:09 am Tue, Nov 8		Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red.	283°	12.4°
6:03 am Tue, Nov 8		Maximum in Basse-Terre This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Basse-Terre. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Basse-Terre 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-northwest for the best view of the eclipse.	287°	0.6°
6:07 am Tue, Nov 8	Setting	Moonset Setting, 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.	287°	-0.2°
6:16 am Tue, Nov 8	Not directly visible	Total Eclipse begins Below horizon	287°	-1.8°
6:59 am Tue, Nov 8	Not directly visible	Maximum Eclipse Below horizon	291°	-12.0°
7:41 am Tue, Nov 8	Not directly visible	Total Eclipse ends Below horizon	295°	-21.0°
8:49 am Tue, Nov 8	Not directly visible	Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon	304°	-34.4°
9:56 am Tue, Nov 8	Not directly visible	Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon	317°	-46.1°

How to use altitude & direction to find in the sky

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 is not visible in Basse-Terre, but it can be observed there as a partial lunar eclipse. The Earth's shadow covers a large portion of the Moon, so this is still a nice sight.
