Just out of curiosity, can you see the Apollo equipment from previous missions with a high powered telescope?

Using the rough math (that I can remember) I'm gonna say, no.

Based on the Earth-Moon distance, an object roughly 10 feet across would be less than 0.002 arc sec when viewed from Earth. Then again, it depends on what your definition of "high power" is.

Great shot, mind if I save it to the computer?

The highest power available to your average backyard star gazer.

This is amazing and filling the whole windscreen. Does everyone just have to navigate around it until it returns to normal size? Too bad that wiper blade got into the photo.

That's not a wiper blade it's a contrail with an airliner at the end of it. Zoom in.
