What you will see
Dartmouth is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 05:40:48 local time, the Moon hides 15% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 05:03:07 and ends at 06:20:03, 1 h 17 min later.
At the peak the Sun is below the horizon (towards the north-east), so only part of the eclipse is visible here.
The Sun rises at 06:01:32 local time, after the eclipse has begun. You see it already under way.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 2,415 km south-east of Dartmouth.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Rota, about 4,809 km east, where totality lasts 2 m 11 s.
Totality is shortest at the edges of the path and longest along the centre line, so the further inside you go, the longer it lasts.
Eye safety guide: Never look at the Sun without certified eclipse glasses, except during totality.
