Greg, 1000mm is 1000mm.. with APS or not..
It should be OK for chromosphere and prominences, as well as for lower corona, as the whole sun will be in the frame, see attached.
For extended corona, I have 300mm (with 60D, also APS size sensor).
Planned control software is Eclipse Orchestrator + DSLR Sutter on the same laptop (to be tested yet)
Transportability-wise, it is 12kg in total.. packed in 3 small suitcases (cabin luggage), tripod is 3kg and will be check-in..
