What Color is the Moon, Really?

Click for full size
Canon EOS 20D
1/5th ISO100


Large JPEG file
I made a new 1600 x 1200 desktop background image out of several of my astronomy shots (moon from one, stars from another), and it came out nice so I thought I might share it with everyone.

The moon really is this color, just not nearly this color-saturated. If you don't believe it, desaturate this image and see how natural it looks.

Enjoy

-Noel

Awesome image. Thanks for the new desktop

I thought the moon could be some colour other than white due to the massive amount of reflections from the sun, but I never thought it would look that
