How can I extend the Live View time beyond 20 seconds on my Rebel T1i

I am using my Rebel T1i for astrophography.  I need the Live Yiew for focusing telescope on an object.  However it shuts off after about 20 seconds requiring me to reactivate the Live Yiew button.  I need upwards of 1 minute of  live view.  How to adjust?  p.s. my T1i is coupled to my telescope without lenses.

Thanks, Chuck

Change the "Auto Power Off" to 1 min or longer and the LiveView should stay for the same time period.

Go into the menu and choose camera settings, the icon of a camera appears on the tab. Scroll down to LCD preview and select. Change the value to your desired setting. That's it!

I am wondering if this was not included in the T1i.  I don't have a menu driven camera setting and certainly don't have LCD Preview on any of the menu driven settings.  Can you tell me where I am not looking?  Thanks, Chuck

There's no "Menu" button on a T1i? My wife's T2i certainly has one.
