A total eclipse of the Moon occurred on 12 November, 0306 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 15:00 UT. The Moon barely edged into total eclipse for 26 minutes and 36 seconds. With the Moon just 3% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, the Moon may have been quite bright, but even so, this should have been worth seeing. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 26 minutes in total.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 5 hours and 50 minutes. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 26 minutes. The total eclipse lasted for 26 minutes and 36 seconds. Maximum eclipse was at 15:00:37 UT.
