Mandelbrot Set Fractal

The centre of the image lies at the point:

0.250,009,942,526-0.000,000,049,996i in the complex plane.

The original image of the Mandelbrot Set must be magnified by a factor
1.16 billion for this particular spiral to be seen.

If this image were viewed as a background on a 17" screen, the original image of the Mandelbrot Set would have to stretch 620,105 miles.

Due to the large magnification factor, I chose a maximum iteration value of 300,000 to ensure the best possible image.

The complete image took approximately 3 hours to construct using a Pentium 4. (A very long time!!)
