Abstract
Speckle imaging continues to be an important tool in binary star research despite the rise of adaptive optics and other high-resolution techniques. The last decade of speckle work will be surveyed and a picture of where speckle sits in the broader context will be drawn. The advent of CCD-based speckle imaging and the publication of the Hipparcos Catalogue have played important roles in the ongoing vitality of the speckle technique. The possibilities of the future of the field will also be discussed.
