This program is the southern counterpart of the well-known Lick proper motion program. These programs are almost identical in design and execution, their chief feature being the use of faint extragalactic nebulae and QSO’s as stationary reference objects.

The Lick program has been described by S. Vasilevskis on various occasions; it serves as an example to the Yale-Columbia work.
