4 May, 1761 AD
max: 17:42 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.20; Saros 105)

(umbral mag. 1.45; Saros 117)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 34 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 45% 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 49 minutes in total.

Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.59; Saros 125)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 35 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 59% 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 32 minutes in total.

10 Jun, 1778 AD
max: 04:00 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.97; Saros 107)
At maximum eclipse, 97% 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 39 minutes overall.

The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 37 minutes in total.
