I probably wouldn't bother with in-camera HDR settings/shots. If you are tying to get good "totality" shots, you will have a relatively small window of time. So, I'd set it up to auto bracket at least 2 stops in both directions at 1/2 or 1/4 stop increments. Then change ISO and repeat. I'd also bracket at higher ISOs (800/1600+), as 200 is probably going to be way too low for a clean/crisp shot @ f15. A tiny increase in noise (grain) is better than unintentional blur.
Even if you are using a tripod and remote shutter or timer, you can still get blur from camera shake, wind, etc. and it gets worse as focal length increases. Good luck!
