We present a catalogue of 6206 stars which have proper motions exceeding yr-1
with an R-band faint magnitude limit of 19.5 mag. This catalogue has been produced using SuperCOSMOS
digitized R-band ESO and UK Schmidt Plates in 131 Schmidt fields covering more than 3 000 square degrees
(>7.5% of the whole sky) at the South Galactic Cap. The survey is ≥90% complete within the
nominal limits of the Luyten Two Tenths Catalogue of
mag and
yr-1, and is ≥80% complete for
mag
and
yr-1.
