An annular eclipse of the Sun occurred on 17 August, 1384 UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 13:03 UT. A large annular eclipse covered over 99% of the Sun, creating a dramatic spectacle for observers in only an extremely narrow strip; however, it was fleeting, lasting a very brief 1 second at the point of maximum eclipse.

The annular eclipse lasted for 1 second. Maximum eclipse was at 13:03:26 UT.
