Xaos [1] is great for exploring fractals and the Burning Ship is no exception -- just define a user formula of

    powi(rabs(z)+i*rabs(im(z)),2)+c

and set c to zero (or don't!). The views in the article are mirrored compared to xaos and are in the left area close to the axis. Some good views and palettes to explore interactively are (my taste!) around:

    ;Position file automatically generated by XaoS 4.2.1
    ;  - a realtime interactive fractal zoomer
    ;Use xaos -loadpos <filename> to display it
    (initstate)
    (filter 'anti #t)
    (palette 2 73629707 0)
    (formula 'user)
    (usrform "powi(rabs(z)+i*rabs(im(z)),2)+c")
    (usrformInit "0")
    (maxiter 5000)
    (bailout 5)
    (view -1.6924 -0.02769 0.1137 0.1137)

Note that this will also serve as a bit of stress test for your cpu ;-) (a rendered result is here: [2])

Is there a list of awesome fractals to zoom into with Xaos somewhere?
