At the depth of today's image ; however, the bare filaments have blossomed into zigzagging ; fields of debris. At an even greater depth, the zigzag ; filaments vanish almost entirely, leaving only the debris, which ; forms itself into unexpected patterns. I might venture down ; there in tomorrow's FOTD, or I might not. I have not decided. ; ; The name "Zigging and Zagging" refers to the zigzag streams of ; debris around the edges of the frame. ; ; The rating of a 7 is average. If I had put more effort into the ; coloring, I might have worked the image up to a 7.5 or even an ; 8. The potential for a higher rating is there. ; ; As is true of all very deep images, the calculation time is ; rather slow. In today's image it is almost 22 minutes, long ; enough to cause those with busy schedules to become impatient. ; ; To see the image without the need to calculate it and become ; impatient, check the official FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; See the image in high definition at: ; ; ; ; The original FOTD web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; Morning clouds gave way to afternoon sun today here at Fractal ; Central, while the temperature settled at 77F 25C, right in the ; middle of the comfort range. The fractal cats found most of ; their comfort while sleeping. ; ; FL and I took a short antiquing trip in the afternoon, and were ; greeted enthusiastically by the cats when we returned after 5 ; hours. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours, give or take a ; few. It might be a better one; it might be worse. Check back ; then to see. Until next time, take care, and be aware. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= ZiggingAndZagging { ; time=0:21:50.64-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel passes=1 center-mag=-0.5001\ 906496882479292199908473074/0.61029780299779699662\ 53344018864/7.715e+025/1/-62.5/0 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=7200 bailout=9 inside=0 periodicity=6 colors=000UiaUkeVmbWmZXmWXlVXkTXkRXkPXlNXmLXnJXoHX\ pFXqEYsC_uBawAcz9cz8Ac78I57E45B34023221312qZ1lW1hT\ 1dQ1`O1XL1TI0OG0KDdZzaUwZOsUKpOHmKEdGBXC8P85G428EQ\ yDOvCNsCMqBLnBKlAJi9If9Hd8Ga8F_7EX7DV6BS5AP59N48K4\ 7I36F25C24A137125012in6ej5af5Zb4VZ4SV3OR3LN2UJ2cF1\ mB1z70z30zQEzJAzD7z63zFNmDKcBHUAFK8CA6A357235112FW\ rBOd7GR38DI8lG7gE6cD5ZB5V94Q83M62H42D3181044ld3bW2\ TO1JG09z6AzBAvA9q98k88g87c76Z66U65P55K44F43A338226\ 215113001_oFXkEVhDTeCRbBP_ANX9LU8JR7GO7EL6CI5AF48C\ 36924612303OO2KK2HH1DD1AA066033KH0IG0HF0GE0FD0EC0D\ B0CA0B90A808707606505404303202101008YA7V96T86R85O7\ 5M64K64I53F43D42B3292162141020HchGafF_dEYbEX`DVZCT\ XBRVBQTAOR9MP8KN8JL7HJ6FH5DF5CD4AB389267255133011z\ JGsHEmFCgDB`B9V9800B00C00D00E00G00I00K01M02O03Q04S\ 15U26T37Q48N59K6AH7BE8CB9D8AE5EFAIKFMPKQUPSZUUaZTc\ bRaeQ_bOY`N_ZOaWQcUSeWTgY } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
