TABLE  vmcProperMotionCatalogue

The catalogue contains proper motions for sources identified through PSF photometry fittingcper epoch. The sources should be similar to those in vmcPsfSource, abut are not a 1-1 match. The paper describing this is Niederhofer et al. 2025, submitted Required constraints: Primary key is (uniqueID)
