Just shows that a proper CCD with filters is better than an unmoodded DSLR on this object.

Cheers,

Justin you will find it tough to get much with a unmodded DSLR. The band passes are too narrow for the filter you have on the camera on its own. There are special filters though that clip into a DSLR will will help.
