Abstract
An electronic version of the catalog of observations of star occultations by the Moon is described. Methods for improving the observation accuracy are analyzed. Some features of the photometric curves of star occultations are described. We demonstrate that the diffraction effects arising in star occultations by the Moon can be detected with the use of television technique.
