Description:
    We present a machine selected catalogue of 11289 objects with proper
    motions exceeding 0.18arcsec/yr and an R-band faint magnitude limit of
    19.5mag. The catalogue was produced using SuperCOSMOS digitized R-Band
    ESO and UK Schmidt Plates in 287 Schmidt fields covering almost 7000
    square degrees (∼17% of the whole sky) at the South Galactic Cap. The
    catalogue includes UK Schmidt BJ and I magnitudes for all of the stars
    as well as 2MASS magnitudes for 10447 of the catalogue stars. We also
    show that the NLTT is ∼95% complete for DE>-32.5°.

Note (1): A value of 0.00 implies that no match was found in that passband

Note (2): A value of -1.00 implies that no plate was available
    for that field in that passband
Note (3): Flag denotes if a star has been detected in different fields
     where they overlap.
       0: star is only detected once and for the best detection of a star
          detected more than once.
       1: for any extra detections.
Note (4): SERC number of the field in which the star was identified

Note (5): the ID has the form
     1-NNNN (corresponding to the previous catalog J/A+A/397/575 by 
            Pokorny et al. 2003A&A...397..575P) or 
     2-NNNN for these stars.
