As an eclipse is not the same as night time darkness I think you would be able to do a time lapse.
My D800E's internal time lapse would work if set to aperture priority mode. It works down to fairly dark and then when dark it does not boost the exposure time nor the ISO enough to night time proper exposures but I am confident it would handle dim light from an eclipse.
A number of Nikon models have the time lapse function built in. You'd have to check their spec sheet.
There is a new D600 full frame Nikon coming out in 2 weeks. Its supposed to be cheap for full frame at $1500 and is 24.7mp. It will have that time lapse function.
