Limb-darkening measurements of the quiet sun in the spectral range 1945-3245 A have been made using NRL's SO82B instrument on board Skylab. The spectral intensities have been averaged over 10 A wavelength bands, and coefficients for linear, quadratic, and logarithmic fits to the observed center-to-limb variations have been calculated and tabulated as a function of wavelength. The quadratic fits are found to represent the observations best, the observed and calculated values agreeing to better than plus or minus 15% on the average. Attention is drawn to the value of the results for ultraviolet photometry of eclipsing binaries.
