Mars-10 year old mintron video stacked in Feb 2016

I stacked an old Mintron video, processed in PIPP--> Castrator--> Autostakkert--> Picasa. The result is really good. Autostakkert is a by far better among the free  stacking softwares, easier to use than Registax 6.
That white cap on far right of Mars is the polar ice cap. Original grey scale image with artifical color added Picasa.
