8:09 pm Fri, Mar 14	Rising	Moonrise Rising, but the combination of a very low moon and the total eclipse phase will make the moon so dim that it will be extremely difficult to view until moon gets higher in the sky or the total phase ends.	86°	-0.2°
8:13 pm Fri, Mar 14		Maximum in Oban This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Oban. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Oban 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 for the best view of the eclipse.	85°	0.3°
8:31 pm Fri, Mar 14		Total Eclipse ends Total moon eclipse ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East.	82°	3.1°

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.
