I/5       Proper Motions in Cape Zone Catalogue -40/-52 (Spencer Jones H.+ 1936)

Proper Motions of Stars in the Zone Catalogue -40 to -52 degrees of 20843 Stars for 1900 Spencer Jones H. and Jackson J. <His Majesty's Stationery Office, London (1936)>
ADC_Keywords: Positional data ; Proper motions Description: This catalog, listing the proper motions of 20,843 stars from the Cape Astrographic Zones, was compiled from three series of photographic plates. The plates were taken at the Royal Observatory, Cape of Good Hope, in the following years: 1892-1896, 1897-1910, 1923-1928. Data given include centennial proper motion, photographic and visual magnitude, Harvard spectral type, Cape Photographic Durchmusterung (CPD) identification, epoch, right ascension and declination for 1900.
