We went to Tagaytay to check out my colleague's farm for any astro potential. Together with Irving, I set-up my gears as night fell. Well, I realized instantly that there's no way I can use the polar scope so I practiced drift alignment. Haze ruled the night as clouds threatened my desire to do imaging. Anyway, I shot some frames of he Leo Triplet between the clouds. I was able to get a total of 50-minute exposure before the DSLR battery went dead. Somehow, the thought of acquiring a long focal length RC scope for small objects entered my mind when I saw how small these galaxies were.
