We astrometrically calibrate each epoch by constructing distortion-correction maps from the best available Subaru Suprime-Cam dithered data sets and from Gaia DR1 positions. The magnitude limit of the proper-motion study is V ~ 24. The area covered is 26.7 x 23.3 arcmin, which is still within the core radius of Sextans. The derived proper motion is (mu_a, mu_d) = (-0.409 +/- 0.050, -0.047 +/- 0.058) mas/yr.
