Using automated scans of Tautenburg Schmidt plates with the APM facility in Cambridge (UK) the mean tangential motion of two globular clusters, M3 and M92, is determined directly with respect to a well defined extragalactic reference frame. In both fields five pairs of plates centred on the cluster with epoch differences from 20 to 27 years were measured. In the independent proper motion determination with 1200 to 2300 reference galaxies for each pair of plates we used 3rd order polynomials and a stepwise regression method. The mean absolute cluster p.m. corrected for systematic effects dependent on the coordinates was obtained with an accuracy of ±0.03 arcsec/century for M3 and ±0.06 arcsec/century for M92.
