Decent viewing from Western USA, Timor-Leste, Indonesia, Philippines, Laos, Mongolia, Vietnam, China.

This night is also the peak for Draconids Meteor Shower, which would normally be fairly washed out by the full moon… but during the eclipse, you’ll have a better chance of spotting these 10 or so meteors per hour. Good luck!
October’s Full Moon is the “Harvest Moon” (English), “Hunter’s Moon” (Native American), “Travel Moon”, “Dying Grass Moon”, “Blood Moon”, or “Sharad Poornima”.
