The Pulkovo program of determination of proper motions with respect to galaxies approaches completion. It consists of 157 fields from +90° to −4° of declination. The proper motions and reductions with use of galaxies were derived for all areas. The errors of reductions are equal to ± 0.″006. In addition the statistical reductions Rx, Ry were computed for the control and for the zones of avoidance. The following formulae were used: where is the secular parallax according to Binnendijk [1]; P and P′ are parallactic factors; Q and Q′ are members dependent on the galactic rotation.
