Abstract:
    The Calan-ESO Proper-Motion Catalog (CE Catalog) contains 542 stars
    with proper motions ≥0.2"/yr, identified in 14 ESO areas in the
    southern hemisphere. Proper motions were measured from red IIIa-F
    plates taken 6-16yr apart. Comparing the CE catalog with the Luyten
    and the Luyten half-second catalogs, we find that both suffer from
    incompleteness, which is particularly serious (≲40% complete) for
    mR≳13, where many of the astrophysically interesting object can be
    found. Proper motions, coordinates, estimated magnitudes, and finding
    charts for all objects in the catalog are provided
