Around 200 bright stars (V < 6) have been monitored with the two-inch star
tracker on the WIRE satellite since observations started in 1999. Here we
present new results for the solar-like star Procyon A, the two Delta Scuti
stars Altair and Epsilon Cephei, and the triple system Lambda Scorpii which
consist of two B-type stars -- one of which we find to be an eclipsing binary.
