Sorry for the lack of detail, as mentioned below a webcam and specialise CCD can take from 10fps to 60fps whereas the DSLR can take a max of 4 fps on RAW (best setting). The other concern I have is mirror flip, some say it is of no concern but could produce very slight vibration, also the mirror has a limited life, so I dont want to prematurely change the mirror.

I have though purchased APT (Astro Photography Tool) and has only for a very brief period recorded image from the DSLR live view. I will be trying it again when I get a break in the weather and commitments.
