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.
Just curious, how do you know this image is not similar to another at a much shallower zoom? From extensive, albeit not recent, explorations I did years ago, I recall that it is devilishly difficult to find deep zoomed images that are "new". I don't mean that they are rare, but casual zooming without letting images fully develop, which is almost a requirement because of slowness of aribrary precision, can easily fall into vortices of self similarity. Since a lot of time has passed since I tried this, it's possible that images are formed much faster than before, and it's easiere to find new (e.g. not self similar to shallower) images. Tim
