| 7:49 pm Sun, Sep 7 | 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. | 100° | -0.2° |
| 7:52 pm Sun, Sep 7 | 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. | 101° | 0.2° | |
| 7:54 pm Sun, Sep 7 | Maximum in Dunfermline This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Dunfermline. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Dunfermline 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. | 101° | 0.4° | |
| 8:56 pm Sun, Sep 7 | Partial Eclipse ends Partial moon eclipse ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East-southeast. | 114° | 8.2° | |
| 9:55 pm Sun, Sep 7 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. | 126° | 15.2° |
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 Dunfermline, 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.
