VizieR Online Data Catalog: Cape Photographic Catalogue 2 (Nicholson+ 1984)

This catalog contains the provisional positions for 51018 stars in the Cape zone -40 deg. to -52 deg., on the FK4 system for the equinox 1950.0. The internal mean error of a single coordinate obtained from the mean of r=four plates is estimated to be less than +/- 0.1" at the mean epoch of observation, about 1962. The systematic deviation from the FK4 system in a small area is probably also about +/-0.1". New proper motions have been determined for 22731 stars which are also in the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) catalogue; the formal mean error of an annual proper motion in each coordinate is about +/-0.004"/a.
