6:17 pm Sun, Sep 7		Maximum in Jamestown This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Jamestown. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Jamestown 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.	96°	0.2°
6:52 pm Sun, Sep 7		Total Eclipse ends Total moon eclipse ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East.	93°	8.0°

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.
