Hi Carl
Yes, live view on the PC works in manual mode if you use the EOS utility to control the camera. Once you are in the EOS utility, just change the camera settings on the screen instead of on the camera itself. You'll probably need to disable any timer function on the camera though. (I just set the mode to single shot, not sure if others work)
Just a tip: There is also a test photo option which lets you take a photo without storing it on the camera or hard drive. You can take a 5-10 second exposure while pointing to a bright star, zoom in, focus again, then take shot and compare the focus. You will still be zoomed in at the same place so it's easy to see if your focus is improving.
