Description
The results of 1657 speckle interferometric observations of double stars, made with the 26-inch (66cm) refractor of the US Naval Observatory, are presented. Each speckle interferometric observation of a system represents a combination of over 2000 short-exposure images. These observations are averaged into 1111 mean relative positions and range in separation from 0.16" to 16.99", with a median separation of 1.65". This is the 12th in a series of papers presenting measurements obtained with this system and covers the period 2005 January 3-December 29. Included in these data are 30 older measurements whose positions were previously deemed possibly aberrant but are no longer classified this way following a confirming observation. Sixteen of these systems have new orbital elements, which are presented here as well. For eta Coronae Borealis (STF 1937) we determine masses of 1.207 and 1.077M_{sun}_ and an orbital parallax of 54.95mas.
