At f8 ISO 100 you need to shoot every shutter speed from the fastest available 1/4000 sec through to 2 to 4 seconds to do a full range composite. Only a small number of exposures are in the bulb range.
Tell us what camera you have and I sure either Peter or I can suggest something.

I have a SONY NEX-5 and a Pentax *istD. I intend to use the Pentax for a widefield timelapse on automatic exposure and have the NEX-5 with a 200mm lens on a polarie with a manual remote to capture the corona at totality.
