Following the suggestions made in
http://news.povray.org/povray.general/thread/%3Cweb.5b096a17747d6b9c3ce674f0%40news.povray.org%3E/

I tried to create a series of blur duplicates as the tail and came up with a
code of like

 sphere{ <0,0,0>,0.27 pigment{rgb <1,0,0>}}
 #declare Nr = 1;
 #while (Nr>0)

 sphere{ <0,0,0>,0.27 pigment{rgbf <1,1,1,Nr>}

        hollow
 interior{
  media{
   scattering{Nr,<1,1,1>}
   intervals 3
   samples 1,1
   }
 }
         translate <Nr,0,0>
       }

 #declare Nr = Nr - 0.1;
 #end

It is getting close but far from a realistic motion blur. Any suggestion?

What you're doing is mixing a filter pigment with your media.

Make the spheres of the tail (the container for the media fully transparent.

Then to avoid the coincident surface problem, scale the spheres a little smaller
then the comet sphere.

sphere{ <0,0,0>,0.27 pigment{rgb <1,0,0>}}
 #declare Nr = 1;
 #while (Nr>0)

 sphere{ <0,0,0>,0.26 pigment{rgbt <1,1,1,1>}

        hollow
 interior{
  media{
   scattering{Nr,<1,1,1>}
   intervals 3
   samples 1,1
   }
 }
         translate <Nr,0,0>
       }

 #declare Nr = Nr - 0.1;
 #end

Never use ANYTHING but the default of 1 for intrvals !
>     samples 1,1
Increase this. You only get a single sample whitch is not enough.
The default is : samples 10.
Also, the second value is always silently discarted.

For media, the defaults are :
method 3
intervals 1
samples 10

confidence is NOT used
variance is NOT used
Only the first value of samples is ever used if you provide two.
Using intervals >1 greatly impaire your rendering speed.

Using intervals with a value larger than 1 is only adviseable if using 
method 1 or 2.

As your spheres overlap, you see the boundaries. It would be beter to 
use a single larger, and fully transparent, sphere and modulate the 
media density instead.
