For my money, I would reverse the order. Although the Moon is rising as we observe it is actually moving against the motion of the stars... and the Earth's shadow.
The end result will emphasize the shape and size of the shadow as well, and eliminate the contradiction of the shadow curving away from each other on either side of mid-eclipse.
