Some tips he gave:

• use of bracketing
• use two camera's for eclipse photography; one 135mm, the other 700mm in order to image the entire corona
• sort eclipse images by exposure time, stack and edit the result using Larsen-Sekanina filter Fitswork
• Finaly stack all edited images to one image; this image can be edited aswell
