I thought the effort 3 days ago was slightly better in terms of surface detail but I captured some prominences today. I have a new compact digital camera and it seems better at producing afocal shots than any previous ones I've owned and better than my DSLR.

Lovely shot that. What kit/processing do you use?

A Coronado PST and Lumix compact digital camera used afocally. I stacked 6 frames using Microsoft ICE and finished off in GIMP.

 

The PST was the only expensive part of the set-up, the Lumix was £50 second hand with my recent birthday money. Microsoft ICE and GIMP are free.
