Will this solar imaging set-up work...?

In an effort to maximise my time in the observatory I would like to have the option of using my TS152 achromatic refractor for solar.  To that end, and having looked at the optical configuration needed to ensure the sun’s disc would be visible in its entirety within the fov, would the following set up work for photographic purposes:

TS152 achromatic - x0.8 focal reducer - 2”APM / Lunt Solar Wedge - Baader Calcium K-Line Filter - Appropriate CCD camera

If so, I will need to sell my Hyperstar 8 and my WO Zenithstar 66 SD APO to help fund it.  Will the x0.8 reducer I currently have on the Zenithstar serve as the reducer in the above set up?

Many thanks...
