From measurements of Tautenburg Schmidt plates with the APM in Cambridge positional accuracies per plate of 0.″05 for stars and of 0.″10 for galaxies were achieved. With 0.″3/100a accuracy in a single stellar proper motion we obtained the absolute proper motion of the M3 globular cluster in good agreement between the two pairs of plates used.
