There was a message on this list mentioning the fact that for the east coast
the moon will only be a few degrees above the horizon during the peak, yet
at the same time nautical twilight will begin.
I guess in a city there will be less places without obstruction, on the
other hand there might be less fog.

Earlier this year we saw the full lunar eclipse from Cosmos Observatory in
Lattrop while Hengelo, only a few miles away was clouded during the whole
event.
