Nasa Predicts Longest Lunar Eclipse In 580 years, based off reports from the Holcomb Observatory Butler University.  

Lunar eclipse is said to be at its peak around 1am to about 7am Friday morning. So if you are in the Carolinas, this is a once in a life time event. 

For Best Visibility 

A good set of binoculars and a dark clear sky for visibility. And don't forget the kids.
