Description:
    Relative proper motions, their corresponding errors and membership
    probabilities of 722 stars in the open cluster NGC 1817 region are
    given. Equatorial coordinates were computed using Tycho Catalog
    (Cat. <I/239>) as reference stars. Forty stars from this catalog are
    in the region under study. The cross-identification of this 40 stars
    are given as notes. Only 15 stars were found in this region from the
    PPM Catalog (Cat. <I/146>), and their respective identification is
    also included in the note5.dat file.
