Additional information
Hambly provided the means to generate stellar motions for faint stars over the whole sky by providing plate scans of the legacy Palomar first epoch sky survey. He generated science quality catalogues using SuperCOSMOS, a precision scanning machine developed and operated with colleagues at the Royal Observatory Edinburgh. The provision of these data is enhanced from a single-epoch snapshot into a resource containing not only accurate positions of, but measurements of the motions of nearly 100 million objects resulting in a key infrastructural catalogue for the next decade or so.
