Greengiant, if you gave each of the eclipsed moons space for their entire speres then that picture would look great. Give it a wee white border as well 
As for the cameras, the S9600 has 9mp, but the S3 has a better zoom, IS but only 6mp. Is the lower MP likely to be a big problem for this type of shot? I'm still thinking about a second-hand slr, but lenses would be a bind. And expensive.

Like this, perhaps?
MP does help as it lets you crop closer. However best to get as close as you can with optics, rather than relying on cropping.

Very nice shots people, Managed to a get a couple of deceent ones myself but need to get them online. Also managed to get a decent couple of saturn, which was actually easy to shoot than the moon i found.
And if you have never seen one, you have to see a Total Solar Eclipse, the most amazing thing you will see in your lifetime.

In that I can quite clearly see the square crops around each image on my TFT (you might be using lower contrast or a CRT?) so I have cropped much closer and sharpened it a little bit. Hope you don't mind.
