I was trying to take a clear picture of the moon last night with my digital rebel and canon 70-200 (on a tripod) lens but every picture had the moon looking like a yellow spot with no texture whatsoever. I tried long shutter speeds, high and low aperture settings, small and large iso's, even the automatic settings and they all produced the same results. The moon looks very crisp and clear in the viewfinder (you could actually see the texture of the moon) but all that came out was a bright, shiny spot in the sky.
Any ideas as to what caused this and how I could fix it?
Do I need a UV filter?
Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks a bunch for your help!
Seb
