A proper motion study from Tautenburg Schmidt plates is presented for the globular cluster M 3 and its vicinity. The plates were scanned with the Automated Photographic Measuring (APM) system in Cambridge (UK). With a limiting magnitude of B = 21, proper motions of 2 to 3 mas/yr accuracy have been obtained for stars with B < 19. The proper motions were determined applying a stepwise regression method with 3rd order polynomials in the plate-to-plate solutions with about 2000 reference galaxies. We used the results for the determination of membership probabilities and looked for internal motions of M 3.
