Description:
  The NPM1 Catalog provides absolute proper motions, positions, and
  photographic photometry, measured in the Lick Northern Proper Motion
  (NPM) program, for some 149,000 stars in the magnitude range 8 < B <
  18 mag. covering the sky outside the Milky Way north of 23 deg
  declination. The NPM1 Cross-Identifications file provides some 42,000
  cross-identifications between the NPM1 Catalog numbers and star
  names, stellar type classifications, and publication references. 
  These additional data, extracted from the Lick Input Catalog of
  Special Stars, facilitate many practical uses of the NPM1 Catalog. 
  Six Appendices to the NPM1 Catalog provide references, footnotes, 
  and other useful information.
