We report recent developments at the Cambridge Optical Aperture Synthesis Telescope (COAST). COAST now incorporates new low-noise detectors, with real-time analysis and display of the fringe data. All five telescopes are used routinely, and we have successfully operated COAST in a configuration with a 48-metre maximum baseline.

We also present the latest astronomical results from COAST, including imaging of the CH Cygni symbiotic system at multiple epochs, and the first closure phase measurements in H-alpha on the Be stars Gamma Cas and Zeta Tau.
