I've done it, but I would highly recommend selling it instead and picking up an OTA ready for mounting on an EQ6 or similar.

This one in the classifieds is a steal:

You get the hyperstar, which is amazing for many DSO images, and the 10" SCT for $1500, and can slap it on any mount. This gives you fast widefield imaging straight from the SCT.

I wouldn't bother with a 60mm scope for widefield use personally, I'd rather an 80mm or a bit larger, or just go with a Polarie and a DSLR with a wide lens to add to your existing setup. The you can do planetary on the CPC and widefield on the Polarie/DSLR at the same time. Just a thought.
