It lies in the Seahorse Valley area of a larger ; minibrot located near the tip of the long filament extending ; from the large period-3 north bud of the large minibrot on the ; main spike of the M-set. ; ; With that much said, I must tell that I named the image ; "Seahorses go Deep". I did this in recognition of its location ; deep in the Seahorse Valley of a larger minibrot. ; ; When all the naming was said and done, I rated the day's fractal ; work at a 7. It's really not such a bad image, perhaps a bit ; too busy for perfection, but considering that its magnitude is ; well into the range of arbitrary precision math, its calculation ; time of 8-1/2 minutes is really quite reasonable. ; ; But 8-1/2 minutes is still 8-1/2 minutes. Luckily, relief for ; possible fractal impatience is at hand. The finished image is ; or soon will be posted on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Actually, the only thing seahorsey about the image is its name. ; At this extreme magnitude, all minibrots begin to look the same, ; with circular rings after rings surrounding the midgets and ; obscuring most of the other detail. But the circular nature of ; the features in today's image can easily be escaped. Outzooming ; to the surface of the M-set will reveal some quite attractive ; and non-circular patterns on the way. ; ; Saturday began with rain here at Fractal Central, but by noon ; the clouds moved out, leading to a mostly sunny afternoon with a ; temperature of 66F 19C. The fractal cats, Nicholas and ; Cassandra, (Nico and Cassie), enjoyed the returning sunshine to ; the utmost. Fractal Lady and I took the afternoon off for a ; short trip to a nearby forest, which had been refreshed by the ; rain. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. It might even ; be a great one, but there is no guarantee. It could just as ; easily be a loser. Until then, take care, and as Halloween ; approaches, don't be spooked by a specter. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Seahorses_go_Deep { ; time=0:08:26.74-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel center-mag=-1.7688842240831\ 541913994/0.0574770069313667297793/4.44274e+017/1/\ -142.425445748274058/0.000213803 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=5000 inside=0 logmap=476 periodicity=10 colors=000GR28OITRBJO79H3P4eG2K81AXrdGRKBSO8LI5EC2\ 76AmN6XF3G7LOBFI8AC5562gDjM6NArH6_BzU5z4Nm2Fk17cJ1\ _C0060IH8DC6984442e`NLIBcN3_OJdXFhdCll9zsFszK_nOLc\ S7TVPZMedEvj6_V8DG9M`tGReBIS59EfMdSERE7Dv1wsUzJ`zJ\ qz7tz5ai3PV1CFNEEHAAB77533K42K31K21B10Eem9SX4EGHKM\ BDE567Ab76Q43D2zbRjTKVJDF962_i1INJ4m92PeirVYdLNRAB\ DzhQzCDzmFzUdzcMQCEDU7ZJtQEeH9S84E8cNzzF2D7qloROQn\ wgahXPUMCFB2lE1_A1O70C3BSFmO_se7`S4IE2B64OH8C84CLR\ 6ADI4oD3b92Q41DzsHveUnWccEmP6mG4c82UGm3AQ25D19rq6_\ _3IIMKlyeHzc8SM5EB23cz26z14V02FZeTccLHLE8A7pm3QP1a\ 5DP38C142mc1PKUX2FG1WldGOKZOmOITGCJ869QscDSKnKuYDa\ H6JIoaCYP6HC1wI0U9a5ES3AJ27913p`2bU1QU1DU0zUmVAPrB\ g_7TI3E5to2SQPNqzz_zzIzzCzz8zz4zzgzzTzzEzzzzzVzz6z\ z4zz3zz1zztzzeQzSDzEmzOPzCEzH7z80zg0zX0zM0zBUzqSz0\ Iz09z0oz1bz0Qz0Dz00zf0zLqzoGzoAzY5zHNzOFzG7z8Bz08z\ 05z02z0qzE_z9Iz4Mzw_z1vzS } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
