Oops, here are the files once again. (Ignore the previous ones.)

I added the tilting axis (yellow) of the planet and the relevant
transformation.
I do not touch obliquity.
#declare TILT_AXIS = vrotate( x, (90+alpha_0)*z );
/* same as
#declare TILT_AXIS = vrotate( y, alpha_0*z );
*/
#include "transforms.inc"
#declare sphere_trans = transform
{
rotate z * W
Axis_Rotate_Trans( TILT_AXIS, 90-delta_0 )
//rotate x * (90-delta_0)
//rotate z * (90+alpha_0)
rotate x * -obliquity
}

Thanks again for the help!
A couple of comments:
1. What is the significance of the long yellow cylinder?
2. The render of "step.pov" you posted still does not look like the
Celestia screenshot. The Celestia screenshot in my last post is what the
scene *should* look like, and the scene is off by quite a bit. I'm not
sure what's wrong, either.

Looks like direction to the sun.

No, on Julian Date 2458383.5 the Sun should be directly along the -x axis.

It does match the shadow of the pole pole though (pun intended).

It is the axis around which the planet get rotated by 90-delta degree,
to place its pole axis in space.

I'm still not sure about your ecliptic correction, can you try to see
what happen when you remove it ?
Also, check your camera parameter, there was a bit of comments and I
might have touched it.
Loonking at the French wikipedia for equatorial coordinate system,
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syst%C3%A8me_de_coordonn%C3%A9es_%C3%A9quatoriales
there is a note about converting alpha to latitude/time.
+alpha is to the east.
English version has even an animation:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equatorial_coordinate_system
Is the mismatch about the pole ?
Or the placement of continents ?
I'm not sure about the axis of obliquity, especially after the transform
of alpha & delta.

Conversions to/from ecliptic coordinates and equatorial coordinates
(ICRF frame) are described here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecliptic_coordinate_system#Conversion_between_celestial_coordinate_systems
as well as in step #6 here:
https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/txt/aprx_pos_planets.pdf
It seems to be a simple rotation around the x axis.

The camera also seems fine, since the red, green and blue poles are all
pointing in the correct directions.

I've attached four comparison views of the POV-Ray output versus
Celestia. Maybe they will illuminate which rotations are being done
incorrectly?
The dark red, green and blue cylinders represent the ecliptic frame
axes. The bright red, green and blue cylinders represent the body frame
axes. If you ignore the axes, some of the renders look "close" to correct.

Neptune also seems "close" in the same way.

Here's a better view of Neptune if that helps.
