1E2259+586 belongs to the group of anomalous X-ray pulsars ( AXP ) which are thought to be magnetars .
Accurate measurements of the proper motion for these interesting objects have not been made .
In this work we use the data obtained by satellites ROSAT , Chandra and XMM- Newton taken in a period of 12 years to measure the change in position of 1E2259+586 with respect to the three field sources .
Our work yielded an upper limit on the proper motion of \sim 170 mas/yr which corresponds to a transverse speed of 2500 km s ^ { -1 } , for an assumed distance of 3 kpc .
We also used this upper limit to put a lower limit on the age of the CTB 109 of \sim 6 kyr , assuming they are associated .
The consistency of right ascension and declination measurements by different satellites suggest that we can average these measurements to get the best to date position of 1E2259+586 .
