Abstract:About 60,000 observations of lunar occultations made during 1955–1980 are analysed using recently-developed semi-analytical solution ELP2000-82 for the Moon's position in order to determine the constants in the lunar theory and to investigate the tidal term in the Moon's mean longitude and the motions of the perigee and node of the lunar orbit. The equinox correction and systematic correction to the fundamental star catalogue and the correction to the datum of the lunar-profile in Watts' charts are also investigated. It is confirmed that the occultation observations do not have inconsistent tidal term with the modern observations and the observed mean motions of the perigee and node coincide with the theoretical ones within the error of observations. Some of the values of the constants in the lunar theory and the equinox correction to the fundamental catalogue FK5 obtained in this paper are significantly different from the values obtained using the Brown's theory. The reason of the difference is almost attributed to the deficiencies in the Brown's theory. The obtained correction to the datum of the lunar-profile in Watts' charts is almost consistent with the results by earlier investigators.
