That's a difficult one for your location. While I normally like north up this one seems better suited for south up to see the ape face.

I had to resize this image to 50% to get sharp stars.

Taken from Berlin with a 6" APO at f/5.6 on an AZ-EQ6 mount, ASI1600mm camera, 65x2 minutes Astronomik CLS, 29x2 min RGB each.
