Kasina meditation details

From what I can gather, kasina meditation involves staring at the kasina initially, and then attempting to generate/visaulize it as a mental image. I *believe* this is how the Visudhimagga describes it. Are there any other older meditation manuals, perhaps like the Vimutimagga, or Abhidhamma, which describe kasina meditation in detail? However, I have seen other sources which say one should focus on the retinal after-image. What is the more traditional approach? I am aware that kasina meditation is not described in detail in the suttas. I would also prefer not this question to be derailed by the discussion of whether or not they were a late invention. Thank you!
