Scientific paper

It is shown that a rigourous determination of the argument in the limb charts of the moon leads to a limb correction which, in some cases, may differ perceptibly from the one obtained by the traditional method. In the case of central occultations, the discrepancy may reach a maximum of 0.9 sec when the moon is near its maximum or minimum declination and introduces a statistical uncertainty of 0.2 sec in the determination of the position of the moon.
