This photo of the full moon was taken with SONY DSC-HX80 camera. I think the I used the Manual mode and zoomed in on it. Was wondered what caused the "red dots" in the photo. I was in the country so no light pollution.
UFO for sure😀😀😀

Yep looks like lens flare to me too and the red appears to be part of the color of this lens's coating that stands out against the dark!

These dots are four alien warships projecting a 4 D hologram of the moon, just to fool everyone. Your camera must have really good red sensitivity.
I'm voting for the Aliens...

Definitely lens flare but it's exaggerated by over exposure and it appears out of focus. Dirty lens & filters can also contribute to this problem but alas - you are using a point and shoot. My suggestion is don't shoot photo's of the moon but if you insist clean your lens, switch to manual exposure and stop it down a bunch. Common mistake when taking moon shots is to over expose the light coming off the moon. It's a whole lot brighter than it appears and the camera cannot meter it correctly.
