Abstract:
    One-thousand eighty-eight observations of 947 binary star systems,
    observed by means of speckle interferometry with the 4 m telescope on
    Cerro Tololo, are presented. These measurements, made during the
    period 1989-1991, comprise the second installment of results stemming
    from the expansion of our speckle program to the southern hemisphere.

Note:
   This table contains measurements from the CTIO 4 m telescope, obtained during
   1989 December, 1990 May and 1991 May. The coordinates, which also serve as
   the Washington Double Star Catalog (WDS) number are for equinox 2000.0, but
   position angles have not been corrected for precession and are thus based
   upon the equinox for the epoch of observation, shown as the fraction of the
   Besselian year. Accuracies for angular separation and position angle are a
   function of stellar magnitude, magnitude difference, separation, and
   observing conditions; typical values for these observations are perhaps
   1-3 milliarcsec in separation and 0.1-0.2 arcsec in position angle. Colons
   following the values indicate measurements of somewhat reduced accuracy,
   usually as a result of observing fainter systems or systems of larger
   magnitude difference.
