Eagle troubles

Hi all,

I've tried capturing the Eagle nebula 3 times now and for some reason it's just not working out for me. The first session was with my old 4se setup on my 350d camera. After getting very little in the way of color ( could barely see the object ) I gave up and moved onto another target. Next round was when I got my 5d and C5 ( current setup ) clouds restricted me to about 100 subs x 22 seconds at iso1600. Again, very little in the finished product out of DSS. 2 nights ago I got another go at it. This time I captured 356 subs at 25sec at iso1600. I admit the tracking was a little off so over a 3hr period it moved about 1/3 of the frame. Still nothing Is this object hard to capture ? Are there any tricks ? I've seen the magnitude at 6.3 so it should be no harder than Trifid that I recently posted that turned out beautiful ( by my standards )

Any suggestions welcome ???
