Spectroscope using 5.1 inch Newtonian?

Hi everyone. I have an unused 5.1 inch, F5 Celestron Newtonian OTA and was toying around with the idea of using a security camera (board only - no lens) coupled together somehow to my SA100 grating (at prime focus??) and building a self contained spectroscope that can be mounted on my 12 inch SCT.

I welcome your thoughts and ideas on whether this would work and what method of camera/grating assembly would be required to achieve a large enough spectra.
