This guy actually reprocessed the old Russian Venus Venera Lander images to bring out more details and I don't think he used Registrax! 8-)

Probably some other more powerful software + Photoshop!
"To produce the images, Mitchell mixed in in special purpose source code, resampling, and other image wizardry, along with knowledge about dimensions of the Venera lander and location of its camera lens. He was able to preserve the original sharpness of the Venera surface pictures. A series of projected views were combined in Photoshop. A few missing spots at the horizon were filled in by duplicated or reversing other portions of the image."
