I am improving deep zooming in Fracton. Until now, there was a maximum magnification limit of about 1e300. Now that has been increased to 1e5000. While testing the new capability, I tried a deep zoom into a fractal on the FractInt Deep Zoom web page. The fractal was called 233 because it had a magnification of 1e233. I zoomed into a "two way symmetry" until I found the two armed oval this added to the fractal. That wasn't quite deep enough to test the new capability so I kept zooming until I got to this 4 armed oval at a magnification of 4e355.
[snip] Not so long ago I rummaged through old images of Spanky at the Waybackmachine, just to see if they had any original GIFs with embedded Fractint parameters (since Noel Giffin didn't extract the latter when switching to PNG). At the bottom of the Fractint deepzoom page are three (very) small images by Minoru Morikawa with high magnifications I was able to get the GIFs from (provided you need further test cases): M1280CM {;Period = 1280, original by Minoru Morikawa. ;Parameter extracted from .gif of Spanky Fractal Database ;via WaybackMachine. reset=1920 type=mandel center-mag=-1.9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999\ 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999\ 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999\ 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999\ 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999\ 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999\ 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999\ 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999\ 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999\ 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999\ 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999658333731\ 427438790145077247121847974138182233607055090006418913464666623825200902\ 155469267606911089906942691124679201168459760973710944897246128552776529\ 257685328240100080237998003833424261830949072944282449278696055187392357\ 683804713719163678356272241943553833135337893951888658749096082084285053\ 555457760598498046920986968370288634889628983724485904342751959658269359\ 498331427854724345390358490172382231264180563748664331807986467844778158\ 158377270189634175632861186201380920422544975453692340192775113583837308\ 812893227918466404755168396106046516402553176888619654978752532269376363\ 118604895912513512333424234635506995308169804308417754367835394894867048\ 398976938524724576747952067109371244038108742369661630611685459110402718\ 46686949227460530920915399561672380621965455/0.0/1.585247e+1539 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=40000 inside=0 viewwindows=4.2/0.75/yes/0/0 colors=@default.map } M1280CM {;Period = 1280, original by Minoru Morikawa. ;Parameter extracted from .gif of Spanky Fractal Database ;via WaybackMachine. reset=1920 type=mandel center-mag=-1.9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999\ 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999\ 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999\ 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999\ 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999\ 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999\ 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999\ 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999\ 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999\ 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999\ 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999658333731\ 427438790145077247121847974138182233607055090006418913464666623825200902\ 155469267606911089906942691124679201168459760973710944897246128552776529\ 257685328240100080237998003833424261830949072944282449278696055187392357\ 683804713719163678356272241943553833135337893951888658749096082084285053\ 555457760598498046920986968370288634889628983724485904342751959658269359\ 498331427854724345390358490172382231264180563748664331807986467844778158\ 158377270189634175632861186201380920422544975453692340192775113583837308\ 812893227918466404755168396106046516402553176888619654978752532269376363\ 118604895912513512333424234635506995308169804308417754367835394894867048\ 398976938524724576747952067109371244038108742369661630611685459110402718\ 46686949227460530920915399561672380621965279874/0.0/4.058231e+1542 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=40000 inside=0 viewwindows=4.2/0.75/yes/0/0 colors=000ZTcZQb_MaTia<3>CqG8sA3v4XmTXsFXz1Zhb<3>ioNkqJnsFquAgefrbgVbf<3\
