[Fractint] FOTD 08-10-10 (Asteroid Submidget [6])

7 Oct 2010

      FOTD -- October 08, 2010 (Rating 6)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

The asteroid impact FOTD image of October 6 went off with a 
bang, and yesterday's textured image raised more questions than 
it answered, so why not return to the scene for a third time 
today?

Today's image shows a curious little minibrot on the broken stem 
extending up and to the right from the minibrot in the Asteroid 
image of October 6.  Like most all minibrots of such low order, 
today's minibrot is far from symmetrical.  It has most of its 
interest on its right side, where a strange twisting and broken 
filament shoots out and ultimately terminates.

I named the image "Asteroid Submidget" because that's what it 
is.  I rated it at a 6 because I have seen far better.

The calculation time of just under 10 minutes is too slow for an 
image that rates a mere 6.  My advice is to save the time by 
viewing the finished image on the FOTD web site at:

Much improved weather arrived at Fractal Central on Thursday.  
When the sun appeared by 9am, the fractal cats perked up.  When 
the temperature reached 70F 21C, they leaped to their window 
shelf and checked for unwanted cats, then began chasing each 
other up and down the hallway.  One of them overturned a lamp, 
but no one saw it happen and both appeared innocent, so the 
guilty cat will remain forever a mystery.

My day was slightly busy, while FL kept equally busy in her 
garden.  The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours.  Until then, 
take care, and is there a difference between being real and 
being really real?
