A penumbral eclipse of the Moon occurred on 13 October, 1736 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 22:50 UT. This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 62% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth (none of it was in total shadow), which caused a gentle shadow gradient across its disc at maximum; the eclipse as a whole lasted 3 hours and 22 minutes.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 22 minutes. Maximum eclipse was at 22:50:49 UT.
