A partial eclipse of the Moon occurred on 23 January, 0393 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 20:53 UT. A tiny bite out of the Moon may have been visible at maximum, though just 9% of the Moon was shadowed in a partial eclipse which lasted for 1 hour and 12 minutes. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 5 hours and 4 minutes. The partial eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 12 minutes. Maximum eclipse was at 20:53:05 UT.
