Abstract
We present a new survey of positions and proper motions. The first period positions are the Carte du Ciel one measured with the MAMA machine and the second period positions are obtained with a meridian circle telescope fitted with a 1024 × 1024 CCD camera working in scan mode. In the 11 < d < 18 zone of the Carte du Ciel concerning Bordeaux, the number of stars observed is 2.6 million until magnitude 15.
