Can I manually set White Balance?

I want to film the moon with Street Lamps in my back. Therefore I can´t set a proper white balance for the moon (with a sheet of white paper).
3200 and 5600 dont look right-either too yellow or too blue.
White balancing on the (not full frame) moon turns out greenish.

Can I manually set the color temperature?

Which would be right for the moon?
 
In a word, no, but there is a work around. If you can find a situation where you can capture the color temp that works, put it in the A or B memory in the cam. Unfortunately, this will take some trial and error. If you can get it fairly close, you could color correct in post.

You could get close and use your scene file settings to modify "Color Temp" until you're happy or simply correct it in post.
