The Lick Northern Proper Motion (NPM) Program will provide absolute proper motions (referred to faint galaxies), equatorial coordinates, and two-color photographic photometry for some 300,000 stars with 8 < B < 18 covering the 70% of the sky north of declination −23°. Part 1 of the NPM program (NPM1), recently completed, covers the 72% of the northern sky (899 of 1,246 fields) outside the Milky Way. Two catalogs result from NPM1: The NPM1 Catalog (Klemola et al. 1993a, Hanson 1993a) contains 149,000 stars. The NPM1 Reference Galaxy List (Klemola et al. 1993b, Hanson 1993b) contains 50,000 faint galaxies. Klemola et al. (1987, 1994, 1995) describe the NPM program. Hanson et al. (1994) describe the NPM1 Catalogs.
