Abstract:
A sample survey is being conducted in UBV photometry and proper motions as part of an investigation of galactic structure and evolution. In the present paper we discuss the observational results in a restricted field (1.78 square degree) at intermediate galactic latitude in the direction of the globular cluster M5. The resulting catalogue includes 1180 stars, it is complete down to B = 18, V = 17.4, and U = 18. The plate material has been obtained at the CERGA Schmidt telescope between 1984 and 1990. Glass copies of the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey (POSS, 1955) have been used as first epoch for proper motions. Plates have been digitized using the MAMA machine at the Observatory de Paris.
