Rejection slips

Way back when, I wrote an observing guide to the night sky for the many cheap 50mm and 60mm telescopes available from Dixons and the like. I approached several publishers but only got rejections : (
Whilst having a clear-out today I found many of the drawings that I had produced at the eyepiece of the said cheap telescope - 60mm version.
I found it interesting to compare the drawings with some recent phoneshots of the same objects. These were taken with the phone attached to the eyepiece of a 50mm spotting scope, 2 second static exposures.
The example shows the drawing of the Orion Nebula, M42 and a photo of the same.
