Occultation observations have revealed time and time again that the Watts' Charts, though being the only comprehensive source for lunar limb data, are seriously in error in many cases. Regrattably, grazing occultation expeditions often suffered from having no contacts due to bad profile predictions. Thanks to the progress in positional astronomy during the last years very precise lunar ephemerides and stellar positions are available. They render the limb corrections to be the most inaccurate component in predicting and analyzing occultations. MOONLIMB is the first known project to derive new limb corrections from occultations at a comprehensive extent.
