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).
31 Jan, 1561 AD
max: 07:48 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.88; Saros 97)
At maximum eclipse, 88% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth, which caused a slight shadow gradient across its disc; this subtle effect may have been visible to careful observers. No part of the Moon was in complete shadow. The eclipse lasted 4 hours and 8 minutes overall. 		   
14 Feb, 1561 AD
max: 07:37 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.97; Saros 123)
The Sun was 97% covered in a moderate annular eclipse, lasting 3 minutes and 30 seconds and covering a path up to 122 km wide.
26 Jul, 1561 AD
max: 12:11 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.94; Saros 102)
The Moon approached within 4% of the Earth's umbral shadow at maximum eclipse; 94% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth, with the overall eclipse lasting 4 hours and 8 minutes. While less dramatic than a partial eclipse (as no part of the Moon was in complete shadow), a shading across the Moon should have been readily visible to observers. 		   
11 Aug, 1561 AD
max: 00:24 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.00; Saros 128)
A large annular eclipse covered over 99% of the Sun, creating a dramatic spectacle for observers in a narrow path at most 16 km wide; it lasted just 27 seconds at the point of maximum eclipse.
20 Jan, 1562 AD
max: 13:41 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.06; Saros 107)
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 38 minutes exactly. The Moon was 6% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 30 minutes in total. 		   
3 Feb, 1562 AD
max: 17:25 UT
Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.01; Saros 133)

16 Jul, 1562 AD
max: 03:33 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.39; Saros 112)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 23 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 39% of its diameter inside the Earth's umbral shadow. The visual effect of this depends on the state of the Earth's atmosphere, but the Moon may have been stained a deep red colour. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 25 minutes in total. 		   
31 Jul, 1562 AD
max: 05:14 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.70; Saros 138)

max: 20:44 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.02; Saros 122)
The Moon barely edged into total eclipse for 23 minutes and 24 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 10 minutes in total.

max: 00:13 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.49; Saros 120)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 37 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 49% of its diameter inside the Earth's umbral shadow. The visual effect of this depends on the state of the Earth's atmosphere, but the Moon may have been stained a deep red colour. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 52 minutes in total.
11 Oct, 1577 AD
max: 13:05 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.17; Saros 146)
With only 17% of the Sun covered at maximum eclipse, this was a very marginal eclipse at best, and rather uninteresting.
8 Mar, 1578 AD
max: 12:24 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.93; Saros 113)
A small annular eclipse covered only 93% of the Sun in a very broad path, 284 km wide at maximum, and lasted 7 minutes and 1 second. 		   
23 Mar, 1578 AD
max: 12:33 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.28; Saros 125)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 28% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 50 minutes.
1 Sep, 1578 AD
max: 20:12 UT
Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.04; Saros 118)
A dramatic total eclipse plunged the Sun into darkness for 3 minutes and 17 seconds at maximum, creating an amazing spectacle for observers in a path up to 152 km wide. 		   
16 Sep, 1578 AD
max: 00:19 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.19; Saros 130)

11 Feb, 1579 AD
max: 16:06 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.84; Saros 97)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 84% 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 4 hours and 4 minutes. 		   
25 Feb, 1579 AD
max: 15:32 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.97; Saros 123)
A large annular eclipse covered 97% of the Sun, creating a dramatic spectacle for observers in a path up to 100 km wide; it lasted 2 minutes and 48 seconds at the point of maximum eclipse.
6 Aug, 1579 AD
max: 19:35 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.82; Saros 102)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 82% 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 54 minutes. 		   
22 Aug, 1579 AD
max: 07:39 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.99; Saros 128)
A large annular eclipse covered over 99% of the Sun, creating a dramatic spectacle for observers in a narrow path at most 36 km wide; it lasted 1 minute exactly at the point of maximum eclipse.
31 Jan, 1580 AD
max: 21:41 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.03; Saros 107)
The Moon barely edged into total eclipse for 26 minutes and 18 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 29 minutes in total. 		   
15 Feb, 1580 AD
max: 01:50 UT
Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.02; Saros 133)

max: 11:07 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.26; Saros 112)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 11 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 26% of its diameter inside the Earth's umbral shadow. The visual effect of this depends on the state of the Earth's atmosphere, but the Moon may have been stained a deep red colour. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 20 minutes in total. 		   
10 Aug, 1580 AD
