No, if anything I would do the other way around. The QHY5 is a guide camera, that is why it has a guide port on it.

The G-Star EX could make a good planetary camera, but for DSO it isnt optimal. Its CCD resolution is only 576x768, which 1) means it has to interpolate to gain resolution, 2) it has a very small Field of View.

In my opinion, you would be better off for the price to get a low end (Canon 1000d) or 2nd hand DSLR if you want DSO, if you want planets then the GSTAR is perfect.
