Ah! Then yeah, you're never going to see much with that as it's limited to 1/25 or 1/30 expsures.

You're better off using your eye to the viewfinder, but that's still very dim because of the focusing mechanism blocking part of the light as Raymo said.

You're never going to see anything with the DSLR, either through the viewfinder or the rear LCD, anywhere near as well as you'll see it through a 25mm eyepiece. Yes you'll have to refocus each time, but at least you'll actually see your target.
