Subject: Pink Moon..

What would be causing the pinkish tinge in my "pink moon" shot when opened in the 

"Process Image" window? The movie it`s taken from has a light blue tinge (taken at 8 am in 

the morning). I`ve been complimented on this effect particularly by female members of the 

family! This shot is I think not quite oriented correctly, as I inverted vertically as well as L-R 

for  my other scope (a 10 inch reflector) and forgot to change the vertical inversion back for 

my 4 inch refractor when taking it. I`m not yet savvy to lunar features so can`t really tell! 

There was also an unfortunate blemish on the secondary mirror. Why are my shots with the 

10 inch brownish and your`s are blue, Milton? Does this have to do with time of night or can 

it be altered with the "Pick Colour" and "Colour Balance" selections?
