MoonriseRising, 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.

Total Eclipse endsTotal moon eclipse ends. 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. Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see.

Maximum in DouglasThis is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Douglas. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Douglas 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.

Partial Eclipse endsPartial moon eclipse ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East-southeast.
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 Douglas, 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.
