The new fifth edition of the Bright Star Catalogue (BSC5) will include speckle interferometric data in specially allocated columns of the main catalog. Speckle observations have already been included for some 1,800 “bright” stars and more are expected from recent sources. In addition to the separations for resolved pairs, upper limits will be included for stars that have not been resolved. This paper describes how the speckle data have been incorporated into the catalog and gives examples of the new format.
