Noooooo....very. bad . idea.
I have a full spectrum 5DII....and sure....with an appropriate blocking filter....the colour balance is normal. But without it...aye carumba....But a TSE is not a deep sky event. Things are bright. You simply don't need extended red end sensitivity.
I'll be packing my very normal spectrum 5D MkIV. Choices to make now are:
Do I want to include the local scenery? If yes, use a camera lens.
Do I want want to capture the extreme outer corona? Camera lens again.
High resolution/inner corona? Now you are looking at telescope, rigid tripod, tracking mount.
Clear skies!
