HST proper-motion error as a function of magnitude for the SiO masers compared to the HST catalog of astrometric reference stars within R ≤ 25″ from H25. IRS 9 is highlighted as a red star, while the other masers are denoted as red squares. The masers exhibit a median proper-motion error of 0.038 mas yr−1 across the sample.
