I always liked to think that Luna was actually more powerful than Celestia, considering it took her 10 seconds flat to defeat Celestia upon her release from the moon >.>
That's as much tactics as raw power - she had a whole millenium to make plans within plans and backup plans to deal with anything Celestia could do to stop her.
I actually prefer to think Celestia stepped aside and let things happen, having put into motion plans for Twilight to save her sister, knowing that she with all her powers of the sun could not.
