The proper motion of the LMC relative to three background QSOs has been determined. 125 CCD frames taken from 1989.0 to 1997.2 at the Cassegrain focus of the CTIO 1.5 m telescope were used. The method of observation and reduction is breafly presented. The results are compared with those obtained by other authors who use different methods and proper motion reference systems. We find a good agreement in μαcosδ, but a rather large discrepancy in μδ. Our LMC proper motion seems to indicate that the LMC is not leading the Magellanic Stream.
