... Because the RA and Dec of the OM pointing direction may not be exactly the same as the coordinates deduced from reference to a catalogue (differences of a few arcsecs in RA and Dec are typical), omatt allows the user to determine these shifts and correct the source positions. If the task parameter usecat is set to true, and the parameter catfile is set to the name of the fits catalogue file (or it has the default name usnocat.fit), omatt will attempt to correct the computed source coordinates. ...

... Keywords: Proper Motions, Schmidt Plates, Astrometry, Guide Star Catalog, Palomar Sky Survey . In this paper we describe a program of determining proper motions from digitized scans of 1950's-era Palomar Sky Survey (POSS) Schmidt Plates and 1980's-era Palomar Oschin Schmidt `Quick V' plates that were taken for the Hubble Space Telescope ( HST ) Guide Star Catalogue. ... Arrows indicate the magnitude and direction of the proper motion for the stars. ...
