Anyone know why the moon sometimes photographs orange?
A rising moon passes thru much more atomospheric distortion that when it is high in the sky

I believe the answer your looking for is atmospheric dispersion, all objects above the horizon will give false colors due to this.

Used to be called a 'Harvest Moon'. heat and dust distortion also check what white balance you are set on

looked on the internet on settings for photographing the moon and I set it on that setting and that's what came up.
I looked at the moon before I took the shot and it was reddish and yellow color

this one at f22 at 1.2 seconds
I have no idea where you got those settings but 1.2 seconds is WAY too long. The moon is actually moving pretty fast across the sky. And the images you posted are over exposed besides.
You really don't need the depth of field of f22.
And you need to keep the movement of the moon during the exposure to a minimum.
Try: ISO 200, f8-9, 1/50th.

Looney 11 Rule:
If the aperture is set at f/11, the correct shutter speed is calculated as 1/ISO.
For example at f/11 the correct shutter speed with an ISO of 100 is 1/100 s at ISO 400, it would be 1/400 s.
There is a similar rule for exposure in bright sun, the Sunny 16 rule. set the aperture at f/16 and the shutter speed should be 1/ISO. Simple!
