A total eclipse of the Moon occurred on 2 October, 0834 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 05:27 UT. The Moon barely edged into total eclipse for 21 minutes and 48 seconds. With the Moon just 2% 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 9 minutes in total.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 5 hours and 8 minutes. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 9 minutes. The total eclipse lasted for 21 minutes and 48 seconds. Maximum eclipse was at 05:27:07 UT.
