I often have a problem getting white balance "correct" when editing moon shots, sometimes when I leave AWB on I get a more yellow picture of the moon. No idea what the "right" setting is for this kind of shot, so many people get different results, usually reflecting their tastes in editing.

I have seen the same thing and I just go by what I like. As I have no idea the correct way to show this .

Want to know how to cheat? Shoot in B&W mode. :^)

Try setting the white balance for sunlight, since that's what moonlight is - reflected sunlight.
