A programme for the determination of proper motions and photographic B, V, R magnitudes for stars up to 18m within a 4° by 4° region centered near Alcyone is described. We use MAMA measurements of plates taken with Tautenburg and OCA Schmidt telescopes as well as with the double refractor of Bonn and Carte du Ciel plates. To check the stability of the solution three different methods of reduction are applied.

According to the results of the pilot programme a final proper motion accuracy of about 2 mas/a can be achieved for the majority of stars in the survey.
