  Why use the +O option at all? If anything, you will just shoot yourself
in the foot if you happen to specify a different file type name than what
povray is actually generating (eg. if povray generates a png image and you
save it as "first.tga", you'll end up having a png image named as a tga
image, and most programs will not work with that).
  Let povray save with the default name (which is the same name is the
.pov file but changing ".pov" with the proper image type).

  POV-Ray doesn't show the image by default. You have to enable it with +d
(eg. in $HOME/.povrayrc).
