[Mickoid (Michael)]

Well on Friday night I was determined to expose the chook for all to see. However, under Bortle 6 skies this turned out to be much more diffilcult than I thought it would be. I did gather enough data to show what I think is the Running Chicken and on further investigation I believe this to be a Silkie Chicken.

My previous post of this object revealed only the body, so to make sure no part of this fowl would be missing I used an old Pentax 135mm lens to capture a widefield of the area. Exposure was 30 X 3mins @ f8 800iso, modded Canon 550d on an HEQ5pro mount.
