Tim,
I wouldn't give up yet!
If you can see proms and or surface granulation visually, then you WILL be able to image them.
Could be a combination of the focus and exposure. The Afocal method demands that the camera be focussed on infinity and positioned central to the eyepiece. What eyepiece are you using? I'd guess the exposure for the surface should be around 1/125 sec.
A much better solution is a webcam with a 1.25" nosepiece. With 1/125s I get good images of the granulation in my SM60 and 1/60s for the proms.
Usually take about 1000 frames and run them through Registax5.
Hope this helps.
