Super Moon photos. Nice clear night ... had to wait over an hour for moon to rise above the trees. Nikon D610, Celestron C8 in Prime Focus.
The blue one is f/1024, 1/160, ISO 100. Besides a little sharpening in PP it is SOOC. The first 5 shots were really BLUE. I did not colourize anything.
The other one is f1024, 1/250, ISO 250. Just sharpening and that is all. Any reason the 1st picture came out blue ... I am clueless on this. (OK, a lot of things)

Sure looks BLUE from here.

Your second shot looks a lot like what Taff the Tooth came up with in his post.

I slept through it all....

Best guess is the white balance was set for tungsten or flash?
All in all a good start.
I hate shooting the fill moon. It’s just too flat.

Rookie mistake ... I will retry that tonight ... Thanks Albuqshutterbug.
What should the WB have been set to?

Now that's a real Blue Moon alright.
