I once remember going to a public astronomy event a few years back, where the astonomer running the show asked the public did anyone believe NASA did not land on the moon. Like clockwork, there was some idiot who put up his hand and claimed it was all nonsense, and supported the conspiracy theory of it being made in a movie studio. The astronomer then swung around the telescope (which was a really really big one) and showed us one of the lunar modules on the surface of the moon. It was rather comical to watch the conspiracy person eat his words.QUOTE


Mark!
I did not think there is a Telescope on earth that can observe any of the Lunar lander's or any other hardware left on the moon
They where as far as I am aware only imaged in the last year or so from lunar orbiters.
As for looking through Large Telescopes, what do you call large?
None of the large scopes in Auss or in the states over a meter or so do not as far as I know have eyepieces
Please enlighten us as to were this occurred, and when.
I would be very interested
Cheers
