I tried Registax with wine some time ago without much success. Things might have improved since then so I must try again. Meanwhile there is an application called AstroStack, freely available on the Web, which does what you need for stacking multiple photos. Also, the usual tools such as contrast, brightness, sharpness etc are readily available and not difficult to use in Gimp.
