"Peak eclipse will be at 2:47 am UT on September 28th—so, 10:47 pm ET on Sunday, September 27th. If you’re in the eastern United States,
that’s good news! You should be able to see the eclipse just fine. The moon will start darkening at 8:11 pm Eastern time, and it will start to
pass through the Earth’s dark umbral shadow at 9:07 pm. It’ll be completely shaded for about an hour starting around 10 pm (the last total
eclipse, on April 4, lasted for a mere five minutes)"

For the upcoming lunar eclipse I went on Spaceweather and found some interesting apps. Celestia is a free download, present in the link below.
Celestia is an application for real-time 3D visualization of space, with a detailed model of the solar system, over 100,000 stars, more than
10,000 galaxies, and an extension mechanism for adding more objects:
