A good start, what you need to do is turn the flow off and get that thing to sit perfectly still. Take a nice slow exposure, keep your aperture up in the high mid range and most importantly get that iso down, way too high. You can aim a little lower on the exposure to give a better feel for the light and create some light shadows and avoid over exposed areas. Also make sure you're aligned perfectly with the glass.
Try
ISO 200
Aperture priority set to F/16
exposure: -0.7 (partial or center weighted average, which ever works best)
Then go from there.
