A partial eclipse of the Sun occurred on Wednesday 26 June, 1805 UT (14 Jun, 1805 Old Style), with maximum eclipse at 23:27 UT. This was a deep partial eclipse, with 94% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center. This provided a significant spectacle for those who saw it.
Maximum eclipse was at 23:27:28 UT.
During this eclipse the Sun was 0.524° in apparent
diameter, 1.6% smaller than average. The Moon was at perigee, making it very large.
At maximum eclipse it was 0.557° in apparent
diameter, which is 4.9% larger than average. This has no real
effect on this eclipse, since the Moon's central
shadow misses the Earth, making this a partial eclipse.
The statistics page has information on the ranges of the sizes of
the Sun and Moon, and the Moon data page displays detailed
information on the Moon's key dates.

the dates and times shown in NASA's eclipse listingsGSFC Eclipse Web Site
The primary source of all the information on eclipses presented here at Hermit Eclipse. (NASA Goddard Space flight Center)
are in the TDT timescale.
The Sun and Moon distances are shown in km, and as a
percentage of their minimum - maximum distances; hence 0%
is the closest possible (Earth's perihelion, or the
Moon's closest possible perigee) and 100% is
the farthest (aphelion, the farthest apogee).
