We present the third installment of the Yale/San Juan Southern Proper Motion Catalog, SPM3. Absolute proper motions, positions, and photographic BV photometry are given for roughly 10.7 million objects, primarily stars, down to a magnitude of V = 17.5. The catalog covers an irregular area of 3700 deg2, between the declinations of -20? and -45?, excluding the Galactic plane. The proper-motion precision for well-measured stars is estimated to be 4.0 mas yr-1. Unlike previous releases of the SPM…
