Further speckle interferometric measurements are presented of the angular diameter of SN 1987A up to 573 days after explosion of the supernova. These measurements cover the epoch of dust formation in the supernova. Most measurements were made in the emission line of H-alpha. Further observations will not be possible due to the faintness of SN 1987A. The results indicate a linear increase in the angular diameter at H-alpha with time, corresponding to a velocity of 2825 km/s. It was not possible to confirm or exclude the existence of asymmetry in the H-alpha image of the supernova.
