Regarding where the lunar eclipse is visible check out:

Click on it to enlarge the image.

 

You will see two diagrams:

 

1 of the Moon moving through the shadow with annotations such P1, U1,

U2 etc

 

2 of the map of the earth showing where the eclipse will be visible.

 

 

On the right hand side between these two diagrams you will see a

table of

times called "Eclipse contacts" which give you the time in UT -

Universal

Time--which for all intents and purposes is the same as GMT for

non-astronomers like us. To convert it to IST we need just add 5:30.

 

The important ones are U1-U4 that is when the Moon enters the actual

shadow

(Rahu) aka the umbra, hence U1 is when it enters and U4 is when it

leaves.

U2-U3 are the times of maximum eclipse and it will be a total eclipse in

which the Moon will look dark red assuming of course that the sky

will be

clear so as to be visible, which it should be at that time of year.
