Abstract

Absolute proper motions of ten globular clusters with respect to the Hipparcos system are presented. Our new data led to orbits in the Milky Way with smaller apogalactic distances. They are therefore in better agreement with the actual distribution of the globular clusters in the Milky Way. The kinematics of our clusters with respect to the metallicity is discussed.
