Plate of Seahorses

Although a little mandy in the middle, this is NOT frrom the ordinary Mandelbrot set, but a deep on-zoom of one of the islands in the earlier Dissolving Seahorses The motive is only drawn with respect to the set M1, since it is situated entirely outside the sets M2 and M3.

About quuartics, see the articles 30 – 32 in my Chaotic series of fractal articles.The technique of SetBorders described in article 19b.

Software: Ultra Fractal.
Formula:Quartic Parameterspace3 in the sp3-module written by my dear friend Greenseng here at DeviantART. All his modules, as well as mine can be downloaded from here.

Below the parameter file, play and have fun
