Star Maps of Distant Worlds

I have just become a presenter for the NASA Night Sky Network where
members of numerous astronomy clubs get materials to present to the
public. One of the fantastic items that they had is 12 monthly
all-sky star maps (as seen from 35 deg. North latitude) which show the
positions of easily found extra-solar planet parent stars which are
titled

Where are the Distant Worlds?

(Now I just have to laminate them. Boy that saved me alot of work,
I've been wanting to make charts like this for awhile now. This will
make it easier for me to find them by hand (my go-to scope is a
pain-in-the-butt once I bump into it and knock off the alignment, it's
not GPS, its more fun doing it manually and naked-eye with a map and
learning the sky too!)

I hope to use them in a way that hopefully makes this not OT :^)
Perhaps somebody here will find them useful too?

That link doesn't work for me.

There's:

that has a flash 'atlas' and a spreadsheet of planetary systems.

See if any of them twinkle with Morse code (;-))
