Hi Geoff,
I certainly am no expert,,,,,,,but recently read
a post on IIS about TimeLapses. Had a bit of a play with the free trial and love it!
I think that it might be useful in a situation like this.
You could adjust ( either manually or computer controlled) the iso, fstop or exposure. Then using the LrTimelapse program to smooth things out.....( see some of the tutorials on how they do this......it seems ....easyish)
As for the timing, I think you could use eye balling the pics and adjusting the various controls accordingly ( assuming you are using liveview or something similar). You have all the times of the eclipse, so use that in conjunction with the live views and make a guess, ......I guess?
If you are after precision......ignore the above heheheheheh
As for HDR, I think the same rule would apply.....except...as you said , time would be a factor.
It would be a great project......none the less
Maybe get a few(
) cameras doing the different options.
HTHs
Cheers
