Magnum Opus Ex Comparison by Kosmic-Stardust

Side-by-side comparison of two similar fractal formations at vastly different zoom depths, with identical color palette, both discovered by me. Notice the spiral arms are much longer in the deeper original version. I personally believe the original is more beautiful, but it also took an order of magnitude longer to render (one month versus 2 days). Which version do you like better?

The original is much more beautiful! (Yes, I'm downloading it! lol) It looks like for the lite one, you backed out one zoom iteration when making the X's' arms, i.e. you zoomed into the center of the 63-x oval instead 127-x oval and reproduced the zoom iterations made after that -- right? Anyway, very beautiful! and Thanks for publishing the coordinates! If used, of course, creative commons attributions will be applied. Thanks again!
