N30 Catalog

(Catalog of 5,268 Standard Stars, 1950.0 Based on the Normal System N30)
(1950s catalog collecting proper motion data from older catalogs)

By N30 Catalog I refer to Catalog of 5,268 Standard Stars, 1950.0 Based on the Normal System N30, a catalog published in the 1950s. It included proper motion indicated by the stars' observed motion over a 30-year period, determined through analysis of older catalogs (thus the term "N30"). It retains value for retrieving historical astrometric information.
