Thank you Brent, Glad you like it and happy that you can see a baboon's head as well!
I found this a very difficult object to process. It has a very large exposure range and my Photoshop skills were at their limit.
I had taken 20, 10, 5 and 2 minute exposures so I used the lesser exposures where the detail in the glob was visible and layer masks to blend it with the main photo, like processing the bright middle of the Orion Nebula. The blendng of the layers was the tricky part and I did a lot of versions.
There was no cut and pasting with a square frame. That's a Photoshop skill I haven't learnt yet.
Thanks for the advice and feedback.
