I created a density file in Pov-Ray, just to see if I could. There are
two DF3 files one for the head and one for the tail, so they can be
coloured separately.
Any comments will be welcomed.

Of course you don't :-)
The light was at right angles to where is should be. So what else? :-)

Not entirely true. The fine dust and gas is away from the sun.
Some heavier particles may just follow the path of the comet.
See e.g. the comet Hale Bopp.

The nucleus of the commet looks to long to me. Normaly, it's almost spherical in
shape, and you
can't make it pass as motion blur.
