This catalog has a page for every lunar eclipse from 2000 BC to 3000 AD, 12,064 in all, shown in groups of 20 years at a time. You can go to any eclipse by selecting the milennium, century and 20-year period from the navigation tabs above; then click on an eclipse's date in the list below to to go its page.

You can see the solar eclipses or the combined eclipse catalog by clicking "Solar Eclipses" or "All Eclipses" in the top-right tabs.

Lunar Eclipses, 1781–1800 AD

The following chart shows the position where the Moon is directly overhead at the maximum times of the total (in blue) and partial (in red) lunar eclipses (penumbral eclipses are omitted). Each eclipse will be visible approximately from the half of the Earth centred on that point. Use the zoom controls on the left to zoom in and out; hover over a marker to see the area of visibility and summary information on that eclipse.

The interactive map is currently not available.

Note that eclipse dates are specified relative to UT. You have not selected a timezone for eclipse timings, so all times are shown in UT (essentially GMT).
8 Apr, 1781 AD
max: 15:54 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.34; Saros 99)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 31 minutes, just 34% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow). 		   
8 May, 1781 AD
max: 00:00 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.65; Saros 137)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 65% 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 26 minutes.
1 Nov, 1781 AD
max: 05:55 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.36; Saros 142)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 3 minutes, just 36% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow). 		   
29 Mar, 1782 AD
max: 08:22 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.63; Saros 109)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 2 hours and 39 minutes, with 63% of the Moon in darkness at maximum. 		   
21 Sep, 1782 AD
max: 14:17 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.30; Saros 114)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 30% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 6 minutes. 		   
18 Mar, 1783 AD
max: 21:31 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.79; Saros 119)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 42 minutes plunged the full Moon into deep darkness, as it passed right through the centre of the Earth's umbral shadow. While the visual effect of a total eclipse is variable, the Moon may have been stained a deep orange or red colour at maximum eclipse. This was a great spectacle for everyone who saw it. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 42 minutes in total. 		   
10 Sep, 1783 AD
max: 23:32 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.76; Saros 124)

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.11; Saros 101)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 11% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 43 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
