The first results of speckle interferometry carried out with the 3.5-m telescope of the C.A.H.A. (Almería, Spain) during a run in July, 2005 are presented. Forty nine stars with separations between 0″058 and 2″1 were observed under good seeing conditions. On the basis of these observations three improved orbits are presented. The Time Allocation Committee's report with a high scientific qualification to our proposal is included. It confirms the relevance of binary and multiple star research in modern astronomy and the great significance of large telescopes in this kind of studies as well.
