Time	Phase	Event	Direction	Altitude
4:53 pm Tue, Apr 15	Not directly visible	Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon	65°	-29.9°
5:58 pm Tue, Apr 15	Not directly visible	Partial Eclipse begins Below horizon	79°	-21.1°
7:06 pm Tue, Apr 15	Not directly visible	Total Eclipse begins Below horizon	92°	-11.4°
7:45 pm Tue, Apr 15	Not directly visible	Maximum Eclipse Below horizon	100°	-5.9°
8:22 pm Tue, Apr 15	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.	107°	-0.2°
8:24 pm Tue, Apr 15		Total Eclipse ends Total 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-southeast 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.	107°	0.1°
8:25 pm Tue, Apr 15		Maximum in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky 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-southeast for the best view of the eclipse.	107°	0.2°
9:33 pm Tue, Apr 15		Partial Eclipse ends Partial moon eclipse ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East-southeast.	121°	8.5°
10:37 pm Tue, Apr 15		Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends.	135°	15.7°

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 was not visible in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, but it could be observed there as a partial lunar eclipse. The Earth's shadow covered a large portion of the Moon, so this was still a nice sight.
