Comparisons of numeric, semi-analytic and analytic lunar libration models indicate that the planetary and Earth figure perturbations used to supplement the semi-analytic and analytic models are inadequate. Using the ELP-2000 of Chapront and Chapront-Touzé, an improved solution of these perturbations is developed. For the libration in longitude there are numerous terms with periods near that of the free libration; their amplitudes remain ill-defined.
