Just changed that moon file again this time to reflect "naked eye view"...

That is very very red orange. Were you shooting it as it was near the horizon as it was rising or setting? Or was their a lot of smoke in the air?

If neither of these are true, then you need to work on your Camera color balance settings and adjust the Red and Blue gain sliders to get the Moon more normal colors. You'll never be able to enhance the final colors like I did unless you can get the colors balanced when you take the movies initially.

HTH..
