XC1 catalogue of positions and proper motions

We present the astrometric catalogue of faint reference stars in 255deg^2^ sized fields with ICRF objects of northern hemisphere. The XC1 is based on our results of measurements and astrometric reduction of digitized images of Schmidt plates POSS-I and POSS-II sky surveys obtained from USNOFS PMM Image Archive. The Tycho-2 (Cat. ) catalogue was used as a reference catalogue for astrometric reductions. The mean positions and proper motions of stars were derived from their individual positions at the different epochs. For some stars the 2MASS (Cat. ) positions were used also. The limiting magnitude is about V=19mag. The estimated external errors are 50-150mas in positions at mean epoch, and 2-5mas/yr in proper motions, depending on magnitude. The catalog is present as a set of individual fields in separate files. The name of each file is the ERS designation of corresponding ICRF radio source.
