Here is my take:
I did the processing in 2 steps:
- first the RAW basics in ART with these settings: P8150192.tif.out.arp (11.3 KB) and saving as 16 bit TIF
- then added some ‘milky way juice’ mostly following these ideas: Darktable milkyway processing - #2 by asn (the xmp: P8150192.tif.xmp (21.4 KB) )
In retrospective, some more work will be needed to remove also the green cast (maybe I just choose a wrong white balance?!? )

BTW, which lens did you used? It looks like it can use some flat frame treatment to get rid of the vignetting and color cast.
I used this manual lens:
I see, I use something similar, the LAOWA 9mm f2.8 for Fuji.
Doing what is described here: Flat-Field - RawPedia helped a lot to fix the vignetting and color cast. You can have a go, it is not that complicated.

Thanks for posting… Milky way shots are always challenging…
My take DT 3.2.1

Your result looks very good, except the main subject (the Milky Way) is almost invisible.

Yes, using the defaults of the filmic module lead to that effect. But by changing the “black relative exposure” and the “dynamic range scaling” to extrem values (-16EV & +50% respectivley) I got better results for the low region. In fact similar results as by using the basecurve with two exposure fusions.
I installed siril 0.9.12 and gave it a quick glance. That’s defenitely worth a deeper look. But I guess I would need some more cold winter nights to dig into it. Thanks !
Many thanks very much for all the edits!
Especially the milky way “contrast equalizer” triple and the use of the “color zone module” in order to tame the red tent I found very helpful

Thank you for the nice photo
Here is my attempt with dt master:
I used toneequalizer to make the sky brighter, color balance to give a small “blue” color grading on the shadows, 2 instances of local contrast in local laplacian mode to give local contrast to the sky, and a crop & rotate.
