Abstract
The techniques, advantages and limitations of photoelectric observations of occultations of stars by the Moon are reviewed. The results for timings, lunar limb slopes, double and multiple stars, and the determination of angular diameters of stars are considered. Possible effects of lunar limb irregularities are discussed. Observers are strongly recommended to pursue the upcoming series of occultations of Antares and other important stars.
