Because of the improvements in CCD detector quality and availability, as well as the increased performance and lower prices of PC compatible computers and digitizer boards, the time is ripe for getting amateur astronomers interested in speckle interferometry. Presented is a low–cost (under $1500 U.S., without computer) prototype astrometric speckle interferometry package suitable for use by amateur astronomers on their own telescopes. Table 1 lists the names and addresses of the manufacturers of the various products required as well as their prices.
