Abstract:

Proper motions, coordinates and finding charts are given for 166 Luyten Catalogue (LTT, Luyten 1957) stars re-discovered as a result of a search for high proper motion stars carried out in nineteen 5 $^\circ \times 5^\circ$ areas, located between $-5^\circ$ and $-30^\circ$ in declination and between 13h 30m and 24h in right ascension. An estimated precision level between 8 and 19 mas/year was achieved for the proper motions. A comparison with the LTT data is presented.

Key words: astrometry -- stars: kinematics
