Can you see the same level of detail, or better/worse, through the eyepiece with your own eye?

Visually, the details are generally less sharp, but, for example, the limb prominences appear brighter in the eyepiece than in the photograph.

Interesting, so Acuter also has that banding issue that varies from one reference to another.
