Stop eating by Imsak, ten minutes before Sehri ends, to be safe. Ramadan and the marked days follow the Hijri date above; where the moon is sighted a day later, they move with it.
These times are worked out from the position of the sun for Rakaia (-43.7500, 172.0167, time zone Pacific/Auckland), with the Muslim World League method, the way most mosques in New Zealand do. Your mosque may differ by a minute or two, as many round their times or add a few minutes for safety. Imsak is ten minutes before Fajr. The Hijri date follows the Umm al-Qura calendar; the month begins where the moon is sighted, so it can differ by a day.

The Muslim World League method, 18° and 17°, the way most mosques in New Zealand work it out, with the standard Asr.
