I get mine from here:

MSAS: Messier Finder Charts

They're in PDF format and can be printed out at A4.

Or you can download Cartes du Ceil - a full blown desktop planetarium and then put your own Telrad circles onto any object you choose (they are done with just a click of the mouse). You can put as many or as few as you like on each chart. You can also zoom to any level - wide field to find stuff or use binoculars - small field to help at the eyepiece. Print off and use at the scope.

I used to put several rings in a row to aid "star-hopping".

Just Google "Telrad Maps" there's a shed load of diffident types, I print off the Messier i am going for, map it on the map in yellow or green marker, stick it in a plastic zipper folder and the dew don't matter...

i used a felt pen and drawn the telrad circles onto a transparent bit of plastic to scale for my atlas ,atached with string so not to lose it. it works wonderfully.

funny thing was ,when i first drwn the circles ,i did so in red as per the recticle colour. then discovered when im out at night and put a red torch to it,it becomes invisible !

so went over it with a thin black pen, fine now.

That's what i found, Red Ink with a red night light, means no view able lines..
