Addendum
According to the idea suggested, I manage to align my pictures using
Hugin in two main steps, run as two projects. It's working fine, and
needs you to be perseverent. Here are the details:
* Project one : prepare pre-aligned pictures on the subject
1. Masks tab > Crop tab > Crop > check "All images of selected lens"
crop around subject "focal plane"
then roughly align
o [copied from previous post "Settings :" part]
In order to automate the Control Points Creation as
expected, around expected focal plane, I use the same
Crop Mask on every photos before launching creation.
Once done, restore default cropping (none) In order to
limit the number of Control Points, I use the following
customized Control Point Detector Program command
`cpfind --linearmatch --sieve2width 2 --sieve2height 2
-o %o %s`
2. Masks tab > Crop tab > Crop > check "All images of selected
lens" + reset cropping
3. In "Fast Preview panorama" window: Crop tab > HDR Autocrop
4. Stitch in "Remapped Images:"
* Project two : fine align
1. Add remapped images
2. Align image-0 and image-1 with two points (on subject "focal plane")
3. save
4. close
* Edit plain text pto file, part "# Controls points" and repeat
alignment first points on each following images pairs

o save
o close
* Project two : reopen the project with Hugin
o Menu > Edit > Fine-tune all Points
o Optimise
o Stitch in Remapped Images
* Final step is with Siril to sum this stack.
