Scientific paper

We have applied the astrometric techniques devised by Murray (1986MNRAS.223..649M) for analysis of 48-inch Schmidt photographic data to SuperCOSMOS scans of UK Schmidt plates centred on Kapteyn's Selected Area 94 (RA=2h53m, DE=0{deg}). In this preliminary study, we combine astrometric data from four short-exposure V-band plates, taken in 1987 August (2 plates) and 1993 August (2 plates), with BVRI photometry from sky-limited plate material, to identify stars with proper motions exceeding 0.1"/yr. This paper discusses the completeness of the resulting sample and presents spectroscopy of 30 stars with {mu}>0.2"/yr. Based on the latter observations and the distribution in the [HV, (V-I)] reduced proper-motion diagram, we have classified stars in the complete sample as candidate white dwarfs, main-sequence dwarfs and halo subdwarfs, and derived estimates of the disc and halo luminosity functions.
