Fractal visionaries:

Today's fractal is a blow-up of a midget on the tail of another midget, which is one of eleven midgets in a circle around the origin.  To see the circle of eleven midgets, do a few out-zooms.  To turn the midgets so they face inward, change the sign of real(p2).

My Test15 formula is rapidly earning a place in my permanent formula file.  It's one of the most versatile I've written, holding new surprises with every parameter change.

Test15 uses one of my favorite techniques -- mixing various proportions of different formulas, especially positive and negative mandeloids, a trick which fills the interiors of the positive figures with detail of the most unpredictable kind.  To see the true Julia set of the circle of midgets, change imag(p3) to 0.

While all that is going on, I'm going off to check the new HP hexachrome color printer.  It makes the output of a standard CMYK printer look like mud.
