A partial eclipse of the Moon occurred on 23 April, 1077 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 15:41 UT. A tiny bite out of the Moon may have been visible at maximum, though just 10% of the Moon was shadowed in a partial eclipse which lasted for 1 hour and 8 minutes. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse.
The penumbral eclipse lasted for 4 hours and 6 minutes.
The partial eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 8 minutes.
Maximum eclipse was at 15:41:02 UT.
