In some pictures the moon has an orange cast while in others it is white and gray. This is due to the shutter speed used. Faster shutter speeds (1/90th second) make the moon "whiter" in order to capture the detail on the highly reflective surfaces; when the moon is in earth's shadow you need to use a slower shutter speed, something like 1/4 or 1/2 of a second in order to see that part's details. Make sense? The orange color is likely due to to the sun's rays, slightly bent around the earth -- like the more "orange-colored" sun at sunrise and sunset, Ken.
Lens Wish List -- I would like (soon) a longer, fixed focal length (prime) lens to get super clear shots. One lens I have in mind is the Canon EF 300mm/f4L. Resource: Canon site on Photo.net
