It's possible, but you'll never get the sort of results you can with a webcam.

It seems strange to people that a 640x480 $100 webcam can produce better results than a 3000+ pixel $1000 DSLR, but it's true. It all comes down to the method of capture.

If your DSLR could capture 3000+ pixels at 30fps with a shutter speed of 1/30s, then it may do a better job. But it can't.

The webcam freezes the seeing, and takes many frames in a short period of time. Software in post-processing (registax) does the rest.
