Graham it's amazing how many different animals people see.

Nice image, I'll bet that took some work combining all that data.

To be honest, I didn't go back to the RAW files and start them all again, I just took the Final images of each, registered them and stacked them together.  Luckily they were all in the same palette.  

 

Trying to remember now, I think I probably took the Luminance of the most recent one and fine tuned the final image from that in the processing.
