Fractal: Supernova Mandelbrot set
Location: c-plane; a = 0.51803398, b = 0.0173855 - 0.0790251i
Depth: Moderate (17 decimals)
Min Iterations: 6655
Max Iterations: 100,000,000
Layers: 3
Anti-aliasing: 3x3, threshold 0.0, depth 1
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Calculation time: 3 days, 15 hours (1.5GHz single-core AMD Athlon XP)
Notes:

One of several pretty minibrots I found in Supernova. This image was computed on some older hardware I had lying around, hence the long calculation time (my main render box is three times faster, if not more).

One layer was used to achieve something of a subtle drop-shadow effect, while the other two color divergent points and points that go to the zero attractor, respectively, by convergent smoothed iterations.
