It certainly could work. It is a CMOS not a CCD, but that works well with Planetary which uses video to capture.
I do not see any cooling listed, so long images might not be so good.
The chip has very small pixels, 2.2um and it is not named so hard to be sure what it might be. But this sounds like the same one used in the NexImage 5 Solar System Imager and it cost less on that site.
But depending what you intended to do with it, it could be useful.
