Three large "X" formations, all made up of smaller Xs. O0

Whew! This is the deepest thing I have ever rendered - Well more precisely 2^ -1764.5!!! This single image took a little over two days to render on my Quad Core Phenom II @ 3.6 Ghz, Fractal Extreme 64 bits :police: :hurt:

This is an expansion of the original X-made-up-of-Xs concept found in "XX Reactor core"

I believe at this point I have exhausted the desire to explore deeper the X-of-X type cross formations to be found within the Mandelbrot set. I could continue into ever deeper iterations, but I believe I've tapped out this region for now. I chose to zoom in on the spiral about five notches off from the center of the "row-of-32Xs" formation, to give it a slightly skewed look for variety. O0

Hope you like. This zoom deviates from the original "XX Reactor Core" render path at about 2^-668. Comments appreciated...
