The Lick proper motion program, one of several using galaxies as a reference frame, is summarized with a statement of work accomplished for the non-Milky Way sky. The problem of identifying relatively transparent regions at low galactic latitudes is discussed, with tabular results presented for 41 windows from the literature having observable galaxies. These fields may be helpful for attaching stellar proper motions directly to the extragalactic frame.
