Help me spend some money...

I own the O'Meara Hidden Treasures book. It's really nice to browse through the sketches. What other collections of deep sky sketchbooks do y'all suggest?

Hi Nick,

All of O'Meara's Deep Sky Companion books have sketches.

Deep-Sky Observing with Small Telescopes by David J. Eicher

The Universe from Your Backyard by David J. Eicher

Messier's Nebulae & Star Clusters by Kenneth Glyn Jones (the sketches in this book are white stars on black background)

The Night Sky Observer's Guide Vols 1 & 2 by George R Kepple and Glen W. Sanner

The Year-Round Messier Marathon Field Guide by Harvard Pennington

hope this helps,
