A new CCD Camera was coupled to the NURO telescope in March 2006. We used the separation of selected binary stars in the Washington Double Star Catalog to calculate the new plate scale. The value of the plate scale obtained was, within the error bar, in agreement with the design (theoretical) value. We also report the position angle and separation obtained for these selected stars.
