I rated it at an 8, mostly because I ; enjoy images that resemble scenes on other worlds. ; ; The name "Neptune Rising" needs no explanation. And for the ; comfort of those whose knees start knocking at the mere thought ; of the paranormal, the name has no connection to the controvers- ; ial discipline of Astrology. ; ; The calculation time of 3-1/4 minutes will pass in a relativis- ; tic flash. Those who enjoy art more than relativity may see the ; image, already calculated, on the new Fractal Central FOTD web ; site at: ; ; ; ; There is another benefit of visiting the FC web site: the FOTD ; discussions posted to the web site will frequently contain ; controversial stuff omitted from the version posted to the ; Fractint mailing list. ; ; For a high definition view of the image visit Hal's web site at: ; ; ; ; Paul's original site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; Easter Sunday began with clouds and light rain here at Fractal ; Central, keeping the Easter finery under wraps and the fractal ; cats in sulk posture. By afternoon the sun peeked through and ; the temperature reached 75F 24C, but by then the gaudy colors ; were gone and it had turned into just another Sunday afternoon ; in Central Pennsylvania. ; ; The humans made it through the day with no outstanding events to ; make the day memorable. We are not too concerned about idleness ; however. If things ever get too slow, there is always that FOTD ; web site in progress to keep us busy. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and never forget that we have not a ghost of a chance of ; ever reaching those distant planets and stars, but despite this ; bad news, the ghosts don't give a sheet. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Neptune_Rising { ; time=0:03:14.71-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandNewt06a passes=1 center-mag=62.313\ /-35.172/0.006458334/1/140/0 params=5.14/-3.78/\ 5.05/7.17/3.54/0.58/6e-029/0 float=y maxiter=500 inside=atan periodicity=0 colors=000IhzKpzLzzmzzzzzzzzQLGRIDSFATC7RgMThPVhRW\ hTYhVZhX`iZbi`ciceiefigzzzzjkkzmmjznjqjirghrdhragr\ ccsUAKUAKUAKUAKUAKFP6JN6MM5QL5TJ5XI5_G4cF4fE4jC4mB\ 3q93t83w73v82v92vA2vB2vC2vD2vD2vE2vF2vG2vH2vI2uJ2u\ J2uK2uL2uM2uN2uO2uP2uP2uQ2uR2uS2tT1tU1tV1tV1tW1tX1\ tY1tZ1t_1t`1t`1ta1sb1sc1sd1se1sf1sf1sg1sh1si1sj1sk\ 1sk1rh5rf8qdCqbFp`JpYMoWQoUTnSXnQ_kOZhNYeMXbLW_KVY\ JVVIUSHTPGSMFRKERHDQECPBBO8AN69N7AO8AP8AP9AQ9AQABR\ ABSBBSCBTCBTDCUDCVECVECWFCWFCXGDYHDYHDZIDZID_JE`JE\ `KEaLEaLEbMFcMFcNFdNFdOFeOFePEcQEaQE_REZSEXSEVTEUT\ ESSEQSEPSENRELRDKQDIQDGQDFPDDPDBPDAPD8PD6PD5QD3QD1\ QD0PE1PE2QE3QE4QF4QF5QF6QF7RF7RG8RG9SGASGATGBUHCUH\ DWHEVHEWIFWIGXIHWIHXIIXJJYJKXJKXJLXJMXKNWKNWKOWKPW\ LQWLRVLRVLSVLTVMUUMUUMVUMWUMXTNXTNYTNZTN_TN_VOZWPZ\ XPZYQYZQY_RY`RXaSXbTXcTWeUWfUWgVVhVViWVjXUkXUlYUmY\ TnZTpZTq_Sr`Ss`StaRuaRvbR } frm:MandNewt06a {; Jim Muth z=c=(pixel*p1): a=z^3+(c-p2)*z-c b=p3*z^2+c-1 z=z-1*a/b p4 < |a| } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
