Forget the graze if you live in Sydney/Brisbane/Melbourne/Hobart.
In Sydney the moon is fully eclipsed (U2) at 5:30 am but sunrise is at 6:51 am. With the graze at 6 am that means the sky will be quite bright, so the moon will have vanished and be invisible. You can forget mag 7 stars even in a scope - I tried yesterday.
It might be feasible in Adelaide (and only maybe) but its reasonable for observers in Perth.
Its a pity because its a very very long wait for the good next total lunar eclipse over Australia - in 2031.
