While looking through a used book I bought (Fractals Images of Chaos by Hans Lauwerier) I saw a formula I wasn't familiar with. The formula was discovered in 1969 by French mathematician M. Henon. I entered it into Fracton, played with it a bit, and found a few fractals I liked. Henon is listed in FractInt's built in formula list but I have never seen anyone use it. I have no way to tell if FractInt's Henon is the same as this one.
Here is a page with an image:
Here is the par file used to generate the fractal:
