Abstract
Six Tautenburg astrograph plates have been used to derive proper motions for 12 740 stars in the region of the Great Nebula in Orion. The Oricat catalog of proper motions and B and R photometry has been compiled, incorporating as well data from other published catalogs. The proper motions presented in different catalogs are compared. The Oricat catalog is useful for studies of features of the structure and kinematics of star clusters and groups.
