OPL Spectroscope

Hartung stated that he used a "direct vision prism" at the ocular of his telescope to detect if an object was a Star or a Nebula.

I am wondering if one of these Transmission Grating Spectrometers would afford the same/similar crude information when held to the eyepiece?

Any thoughts would be welcome.
