Can anyone suggest me a few sources for his calculations?

Google?
Can't find any.
I need detailed calculations for his experiment and the ones I found just talk about the results and the expected values, not how they were calculated.
 
Are you looking for the calculation of the deflection (twice the Newtonian prediction) or the calculations for the apparent position of the stars Eddington observed?

The apparent position of the stars in his 1920 paper
