Description
Improved proper motions for the 1160 stars contained in the photometric catalog by Dickow et al. (1970A&AS....2....1D, II/38) are presented. Most of the proper motions are from the GC, transferred to the system of FK4. For stars not included in the GC, preliminary AGK or SAO proper motions are given. Olsen (1970A&AS....1..189O) describes the method of improvement. The mean errors of the centennial proper motions increase with increasing magnitude. In Right Ascension, these range from 0.0043/cos(dec) for very bright stars to 0.096/cos(dec) s for the faintest stars. In Declination, the range is from 0.065 to 1.14 arcsec.
