What I have read about this eclipse is this. The midpoint of
the eclipse (moon totally covered by shadow, appearing
a deep red) will occur at moonrise, i. e. sunset, in the
eastern part of NA. ABout an hour after moonrise, the partial
eclipse phase should be visible. Of course in Europe this will
all happen during late evening.

I'll try to look up the time references later.
