A total eclipse of the Moon occurred on 11 August, 0775 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 00:17 UT. The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 32 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 54% of its diameter inside the Earth's umbral shadow. The visual effect of this depends on the state of the Earth's atmosphere, but the Moon may have been stained a deep red colour. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 31 minutes in total.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 5 hours and 22 minutes. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 31 minutes. The total eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 32 minutes. Maximum eclipse was at 00:17:26 UT.
