Looks like the visibility cone for the 9/7/2006 18:51 UTC lunar eclipse
includes part of the eclipse at Moonset for New Zealand. All of the eclipse
is visible in the west half of Australia.

IIRC, there was no eclipse on 9/7/2006, which was July 9th.

There will AIUI be one at about that time on 2006-09-07 UTC - around UK
moonrise. The time is presumably that of the maximum.

Antipodean astronomers need to remind others that NZ is about half a day
ahead of civilisation! The chronologically retarded will not see the
event.
