Inshallah, a total lunar eclipse will be coming on Wednesday, OCT 8. This will be my first time doing Salat ul-khusuf inshallah.

More information here.
However I have a question. The website gives us various times for various phases of the eclipse, at which of these times should I begin the prayer? The times below are for New York only.
Penumbral Eclipse begins Oct 8 at 4:17 AM
Partial Eclipse begins Oct 8 at 5:18 AM
Total Eclipse begins Oct 8 at 6:27 AM
Maximum Eclipse Oct 8 at 6:55 AM
Also, as it is possible that the time might come during the time of fajr, what do I do?
