It can...sort of. Live view increases CMOS sensor noise the longer it is 'on' and therefore would be a limiting factor, plus I' don't know what the long term affects of having live view on for extended periods would be.

I tried it. My opinion? You can't beat a webcam or a planetary imaging camera for this purpose.
