We are compiling a catalogue of positions and proper motions of 4 million stars, based on the Guide Star Catalogue (GSC) and the Astrographic Catalogue (AC). The GSC is re-reduced by a method described in this paper. The AC has been newly reduced recently by us for the determination of positions and proper motions of the PPM catalogue.

The expected accuracy of the proper motions of the GSC-AC catalogue ranges between 5 and 6 mas/year. Having an average star density of 100 per square degree, this catalogue will be a useful tool for the reduction of CCD frames.
