The DSLR is not really the right piece of kit for this particular job, but you could get something a lot better.
So in that vane, use low iso of 100, play around with the shutter but start at 1/250th of a second and work backwards until the image look exposed correctly. Don't worry if your image looks a little under exposed, you can do a histo stretch.

Thanks Paul I will try the settings you suggest and try again when this *&^&%$#$^ weather clears again. I will try the webcam but at the moment no matter what I buy I cannot seem to achieve focus with the webcam/ED127 setup (the one in my signature) it works if I put the original lens back on. I have tried the K3ccdtools program but I couldnt get it to run after about 10 days, trial licence expired so I never bothered with it again (I thought I downloaded freeware version).
