Description:
    The IPHAS-POSS-I proper motion survey combines data from the INT
    Photometric Hα survey (Drew et al., 2005MNRAS.362..753D)
    with SuperCOSMOS scans of POSS-I plates (Hambly et al.,
    2001MNRAS.326.1279H). The sample covers roughly 1400deg2 of the
    IPHAS survey area and contains 103058 objects with significant proper
    motions below 150mas/yr in the magnitude range 13.5<r'< 19. Once the
    final IPHAS survey is completed the catalogue will be updated.
