Once siril is up and running, you may want StarNet as well: https://www.starnetastro.com/download/ (get the 'Command Line Tool')

Generic step by step process to image processing

• crop to cut out stacking artifacts around the edges

• remove green noise

• tools - astrometry - image plate solver

• star processing - star removal

• stretches - asinh transformation so that the image becomes somewhat visible (about 50% of desired luminosity)

• stretches - histogram transformation (stay under 0.1% clipping on the shadows)

• stretches - curve transformation

• star processing - recomposition
