  Naturally POV-Ray won't cut it for such a deep zoom because it will
start glitching out at about 2^50 zoom factor (because 'double' only
has 53 mantissa bits). You need a software with multiple-precision
floating point numbers (or such a library, if you want to write the
program yourself). Of course rendering such deep zooms with such a
library will be slooooow (because software floating point is very slow,
and the amount of iterations required for such zoom levels doesn't help
the matter either).
