Depending on the model of your camera you may have to enable LiveView Exposure Simulation in the camera's menus.

 

You may also need to uncheck the Maximum Sensitivity setting in BYE's Settings dialog.

 

Set the ISO to 400 and the shutter to 1/1000th of a second and then start lengthening the exposure to brighten. In LiveView, the exposure is not really a shutter speed. It is merely a "brightness" control. As you increase exposure value, the image should get brighter with the brightest view coming at around 2 seconds. This does not affect the LiveView frame rate which should stay about the same.

 

This has been discussed in numerous posts, but usually from the opposite viewpoint of "I can only see the brightest stars in LiveView, what do I do?" In that case the answer is to point at the brightest star in the sky, set the ISO to maximum and the shutter to 2 seconds. The bright star will be a small, nearly invisible, dot.

 

Finally, I would say that you should slap a lens on the camera and test all of this indoors, during the day, so you are not wasting an imaging opportunity just to familiarize yourself with the operation of BYE and your camera.
