4. Conclusions

Table 6 gives the final "field solutions" (upper lines) and "star solutions" (lower lines) using the whole range of stellar magnitudes and only bright stars or faint stars.

Table 6. Final GPM1 solutions

Thus, we conclude that since the proper motions of stars in the KSZ programme were obtained relative to faint galaxies, we may consider that proper motions of only faint stars do practically not depend on a magnitude equation. Therefore, "the faint KSZ stars" solution () is preferable and may be recommended as the most reliable one for the linkage of the Hipparcos catalogue system.
