If you want to use live view you would probably want to bin the camera as high as it will go to reduce image download times
With a new camera I usually give it a try during daytime so i can at least get a rough starting position, and see that the camera and software are playing nice and producing an image. As Paul says if you are to far out you wont see anything.
