Ha ha ha! :D

Yes, you can, but not sure what you would achieve over using your 152 scope and daystar. I would use it as a 'finderscope' for taking full disk images ;)

Reflecting on this, if you did want to mod, sticking a PST etalon assembly on the back of your daystar would bring you bandpass down to ~0.4a.
