I'm planning to photograph the eclipse from a beach-side spot, not from home. So I can't rely on power.

are you after the moonlight vista of the beach scene Mike??
I am planning on going to a dark sky site to get the stars behind the moon when in full eclipse, or over water like a lake? Even thought about getting a monument

or people in the shot, but that would be a wide field shot and it might not work. Might have to research some other eclipse shots people have taken over the years to get some ideas or inspiration. Might even think about going to Mt Sugarloaf as this will be mainly happening in the east and get the city in the shot with the moon. But then there is personal safety and security of gear

its not the same doing things by yourself, quite dangerous actually. I don't feel safe being by myself in certain parts of the city now
