Have a look at an article on the making of this image in the Workshop.
This image is the second part of the Expedition diptych.
It took about 30 hours of work, and the large format used (6400 x 4800) for anti-aliasing took about four hours to render. Almost 4 billion facets were scanned, and the source file is about 20 Mb. The TIF (LZW Compressed) of the large rendering takes up about 51Mb on disk and 90 Mb in memory.
