I would like to know if anyone has an idea of who uses this data as I have some measurements that could be of use.

There is the "Scientific Journal dedicated to Double Star observations". You can contact them, or even put together a detailed article for them to review and publish etc.

Another good port of call is the International Association of Double Star Observers.

There are quite a few people interested in double stars around the world. If you have discovered something new in your data, publishing it is a good way of sharing the knowledge and obtaining some recognition for your work. Also it will enable you to determine if your data or observations are novel

cheers
