Try accumulating more signal—with your equipment, the result is bound to be "fire"!!!

You're absolutely right, thank you. It was too cold to sit outside for long, so I didn't collect much signal. I'm now trying with a different camera; the process is faster because it doesn't pause for as long as the exposure after each frame, like a regular camera does.
