Richard, seems you got the focusing part down, but either your exposure is too fast (not allowing your camera to grab much light) or your gain is too low... try adjusting that on your capture software the next time.

Example: if your camera is set for 1/100 exposure, set it for 1/50 or 1/33, you should see a brighter image. Also check your gain, you should be able to increase/decrease if your image is too bright/too dim.


Good luck, and keep it up!

P.S.
I played a bit with your image, adjusted levels, sharpness, contrast...
