Abstract:
    Relative proper motions and membership probabilities of 1046 stars in
    the open cluster M67 are are determined from PDS measurements of 9
    plate pairs taken with the double astrograph at the Zo-Se station
    Shanghai Observatory, which has an aperture of 40cm, a focal length of
    6.9m and a scale of 30"/mm. The number of stars with membership
    probabilities higher than 0.8 and at a distance less than 45' from the
    field center is 282. The average standard errors of proper motions
    vary from +/-0.0004"/yr for bright stars in the inner part of the
    field to some +/-0.0015"/yr for faint stars in the outer part of the
    cluster. It is shown by a detailed discussion that the proper motions
    and membership probabilities of the stars determined in this paper are
    in quite satisfactory agreement wit those obtained by Sanders
    (1977A&AS...27...89S) or Girard et al. (1989AJ.....98..227G).
