Siril is a free, open-source astronomical image processing software used by astrophotographers and deep-sky imaging enthusiasts to calibrate, stack and enhance raw images from telescopes and cameras. It specializes in processing large sequences of images through automated workflows or manual control, supporting FITS and SER video formats, with algorithms for bias/dark/flat calibration, image alignment, stacking with outlier rejection, and enhancement tools like deconvolution and histogram stretching. The software handles deep-sky lucky imaging, planetary observation, and scientific analysis including photometry and astrometry. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.

1 suggestionSiril ships a native Apple Silicon build that is available directly from the official download page at siril.org. If you are still running the Intel version under Rosetta, visit siril.org, download the latest macOS release, and install it over your existing copy — the installer will serve the native ARM64 build automatically on Apple Silicon Macs. Your existing workflows, preferences, and image data will carry over without any manual migration. The native build will deliver noticeably faster image processing and better battery life compared to running the Intel version through Rosetta emulation.
