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
This is my biggest problem now - choosing the right site.

It's hard to find a good view of the eastern horizon with an interesting foreground. If it was in the west I'd set!
