On the other hand the Canon filter in your unmodified 60D may be blocking this far IR.
I will try.. later.
The setup will be a bit more difficult than this one, because Hartridge spectrometer is visual instrument, and was holding the whole thing in hand.

Previously taken spectra of Eta Carinae (attached) doesn't show a lot above 945nm.. it depends of how much IR is in eta spectrum for th estart [NB: my 450D is modified (filter was removed), but not de-bayered (yet)]
