The photo guide seems like it can be improved. For example, I never wait for Ser Elthar outside - I actually waltz right in through the front doors, then shadow the guard patrolling the ground floor. He walks a counter-clockwise route through the rooms. Just stay several steps behind him, and make sure to keep out of sight (pillar, corner of the wall, whatever).

Eventually his patrol will lead you to the corridor where Ser Elthar is. Now stop following the patrolling guard and stay at the corner just before the corridor where you can see Ser Elthar. Once Ser Elthar leaves his post and you hear the creaking sound of him opening the door, sprint to the Treasury. Run in, loot everything, run out. Because you were following the patrolling guard earlier, you will not get caught by him while looting the Treasury (provided you don't linger in there).

Now, don't run out the door Ser Elthar used (lol), or run back down the corridor the way you came - you might run right into the guard again. Instead, run into the main hall, where the guard you stopped following continued his patrol. Now just slip behind the pillars and make your way to the hall's front doors. Open them, quickly strafe to the side, then peek out. If you don't see the guard, great, run out to the main front door. At this point the gates are just ahead of you, so just sprint out.

I've never been caught when I do it this way, ever. Also, you can actually open the hall doors when the patrolling guard is walking right on the other side, but he won't notice you provided you immediately strafed to the side when you open the doors. "Hmm, I don't see anyone, the doors opened by themselves? Meh, that's fine." lol.
