I do not know the way to convert the Universal Time to local time, but eclipses tend to happen on the full moon and the full moon tends to rise as the sun sets.
Maybe someone who understands astronomy could chime in.
For those who are patient enough to wait for an HD download here is a beautiful time lapse of the Aurora Borealis.
