A great app that will guide you through the entire eclipse. Gives you verbal prompts for totality events, when to remove filters, beads, end of totality, etc.
Solar eclipse timer
App is free, but $1.99for the data base for specific eclipse event.
A bargain
Built in tutorial.
Lots of info on the web site.

Another link to eclipse imaging with useful background info, including exposure and ISO settings for various stages, at Roger Clark's site:

Roger's plan on eclipse day is to use 5 DSLR cameras on trackers. Note the use of bracket sequences.

Most important for our success for imaging the Solar eclipse of April 8th is the weather.
