The results of photoelectric observations of lunar occultations of 10 stars are presented. A modified method of regularization allowing for a priori information of non-negativity of the solution is used for the restoration of the brightness strip-distribution of the occulted source. The upper limits for angular diameters of 8 stars are obtained. Two close binary systems are detected: SAO 128720 (Δ = 0arcsec.0038±0arcsec.0010, mR(1) ≈ 9m.6, mR(2) ≈ 11m.8) and SAO 110268 (Δ = 0arcsec.0083±0arcsec.0007, mR(1) ≈ 5m.9, mR(2) ≈ 7m.2). A comparative analysis of resolution limits of the lunar occultations method and speckle-interferometry is made.
