Celestron Nextimage as guide camera

Hey there.

I have one Celestron Nextimage laying around. Before throw it away I want to make sure if I can use it for anything else. Can I use it as a guide camera?

I'm talking about this one: https://astromart.com/classifieds/astromart-classifieds/ccd-cameras-astro/show/celestron-neximage-solar-system-imager-93712. I believe it is based on Phillips SCP900NC webcam: https://nightskyinfocus.com/equipment/philips-spc900nc00-webcam-for-astrophotography/

I haven't managed to find any detailed spec, so given that it's described as planetary/solar system, which implies exposures less than 1 second max, and has the less sensitive colour sensor, I doubt it is sensitive enough for guiding.
