A telescope does the job a million percent better than any DSLR lens can do! Because i gave up doing photography since i started here, and i felt i have no chance to have something and i must travel the world or drive all far and around to have nice results, with so many people keep upgrading, so i felt like i have to give up photography and find another hobbies and passions, but my love to photography was strong so i chose a field that i can try my best and no need for me to drive or travel, and i found it, and good about it is that although people are also upgrading with astro gear, but it doesn't need to be the best out there, and the change or upgrade isn't that fast as in photography, i bought H4D back in 2009, and now after 11 years it is no longer available and 60mp is available even with DSLR and mirrorless, no chance for me to keep upgrading in photography with nice results, so the moon and astronomy is my hope now.

Have you been looking for the footprints left behind by Neil? <smyle> Charles

Oct 11, 2020 16:44 | #6620 Does anyone know what theoretical length and aperture would be required to see the landing site?

It would take about a 400 meter (one-quarter-of-a-mile) aperture to resolve the flag from terrestrial earth (and require perfect seeing conditions).

Oct 11, 2020 22:57 | #6625 The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has taken many images of the Apollo lunar mission landings from 1969 into the 70's. Footprints and rover tracks are all visible. It would be almost impossible to image them from the Earth's surface. Believe it or not, even the Hubble Telescope cannot resolve those. Only a very accurate Lunar salellite can accomplish this. The flags have probably been destroyed by now from decades of intense solar radiation.

I'm just old enough to have actually seen the 1969 landing as it happened, although I was under 1 and sitting on my mums knee at the time...

Watched it live on my "portable" 15" all-vacuum tube B&W TV in the kitchen at 13 years old. Was up until I think 3:30AM to watch the action unfold. It didn't matter that we didn't own a color TV since the camera on the lunar surface was B&W anyway. Also watched the liftoff from the moon live a day or so later. Fun times.

This photo, taken in November of 1969, shows the Philco RCA 24" color TV we watched the Apollo Moon landing on. That's me and my daughter in front of it.
