Hi All,
Processing the eclipse footage proved to be a very difficult task and I finally made the timelapse.

The sunrise and first eclipse sequence are HDR. For the HDR eclipse I used 14EV bracket - 1/4000 - 1 sec at f/4 with Nikon D700 at ISO200 and 35mm lens. I think it resembles the visual experience reasonably closely.
For the close-up eclipse I used Stellarvue 80mm f/6.3 triplet, Canon 40DA, ISO100, and picked 1/250s from my bracketed sequence.
Closing sequence is with 14mm lens set at f/4 and Nikon D3S at 1/15s, ISO 200. Everything was automated with two Promote DSLR controllers and a D3S builtin intervalometer.
I wish I had another 500mm lens with a camera in video mode to get the Bailys beads but it will have to wait until another eclipse.
Cheers,
Alex
