Would it be a problem to use film? Any old camera could do this. I'd use my K1000, which is totally mecanical, no electric shutter - the batteries are only for the light meter. The main things are: A good lens and a sturdy tripod and a lockable cable release! All the best

Reason? Ignoring the effect on battery life and over-heating, and such, over time the active CCD will incorrectly light up random pixels, more and more as the exposure lengthens, and eventually all this 'noise' will compete with and image you're trying to record.
that is what I am afraid of. Plus, as you mentioned, I think the camera can overheat and do other unexpected tricks. ;-(
