Although Sue's book is called Small Scope Sampler other then a hand-full of targets there is nothing really specific to small scopes and it serves those with larger aperture equally well.

If you have worked through her book and simply want new objects pick up Stephen James O'Mearas' Caldwell or Hidden Treasures, most of his objects are in the S&T Pocket Atlas so by combining the two you'll have text describing locating and impressions of the object and charts in a portable atlas. Although O-Meara uses smaller scopes I would think most of us are doing well to see his details in any scope.
