_The Sky Spot Finder Charts of Overlooked Objects_ is a laminated, spiral bound set of Telrad charts for 48 of some of the best deep-sky objects for northern hemisphere observers.  It is a very handy field guide for novice Telrad users, although I question the inclusion of charts for the purported black hole Cygnus X-1 and the quasar 3C 273, two objects that decidely lack any visual appeal.

One caveat: the charts, while laminated, are not completely waterproof.  Some of the pages in The first Overlooked Objects book that I owned were ruined by heavy dew.
