In many problems of galactic kinematics we need to know the proper motions of faint stars, as well as bright stars, within some well-defined reference frame. Generally speaking, the accuracy required is greater for faint stars on account of their larger distances. Techniques at present used for determining proper motions vary according to apparent magnitude, and it is clearly desirable that all methods should give results which are capable of reduction to a common frame.
