Apollo 15 Landing Site

[CraigT82]

Have been playing around on the LROC site and made this... The lander is first visible at a scale of 4 metres per pixel!

Too fast to see, can you post the last frame separately please?

This image scale is 0.5m per pixel.

The lander is first visible at 4m per pixel.  To achieve that would require, at minimum, a 53 metre f/5 scope (assuming a ASI290 camera)

Assuming perfect seeing.  So don’t build such a telescope in the UK then 😂

You can see all the landers with a reasonable pair of binoculars.........

If you are observing from the right place.

Need to engage the right travel agent though.

Nice work. Hadley Rille pops out with the zoom, here's the view from the surface.
