Ralf,

Those are some very impressive astrophotos. Your guiding is outstanding. 
What kind of a drive were you using? 

Using a camera lens is nice... takes the hassle out of getting accurate 
focusing. I gave up trying to focus using a 1-8 or 1-12 screen while doing 
deep sky work through my Schmidt-Cassegrain and purchased a Spectra 
SureSharp focusing device. Focusing took little effort once I got used to 
recognizing the in-focus pattern produced by the SureSharp.
