Best viewed at 1080p. The conjugate Buddhabrot is computed in the same way as the Buddhabrot but using the complex conjugate in the equation, so f(z)=z*^2 + c where * denotes the complex conjugate. I haven't seen this thing on the web yet (unlike Buddhabrots), so here's something new! Since the complex conjugate can also be denoted by an overbar, I shall name this thing the "Buddhabar" :-)

Made back on 19/12/2012, I've just got around to uploading this! Oopsie.

The original size 10,000 iterations 4320x4320 final frame can be downloaded from my Flickr here - http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8503/8284034410_a4314bba9e_o_d.jpg

For 10,000 iterations per point there were a total of 18.66 trillion iterations taking 9.25 CPU days on a 3.5GHz AMD Phenom.
