Home telescopes are pretty good now. Can you use one to see stuff left behind on the Moon by various people? - home telescopes
No. Good luck finding a commercial home telescope has a resolution of one meter or less.
Satellite Images of Earth May pixel resolutions of about 4 centimeters per pixel, but satellites are 22 or 300 miles above the earth. The Moon is more than 10 times so far.

Remember that the moon is about one quarter of one million miles away. The moon is about 2000 kilometers in diameter. The rover on the moon on the left is no larger than a small car, and instruments are still weak, and the lower half of the lunar module is not much bigger than the rover. Even if you knew exactly where to look can easily be seen as an unknown place, just like a grain of sand on the mile from the beach. Satellites in orbit around the moon could not doubt that (these things, but they are only 60 miles above the surface of the moon, almost), and even around Earth satellites are equipped with surveillance cameras to upload images with high resolution of hundreds of miles may hold. But even with the best optical telescopes on Earth, the device could not rely on the moon because the Earth's atmosphere and the fact that the increase required a small object, which is 250,000 miles away n to solve not only a reality . The Hubble telescope, even without the interference of the atmosphere, can not resolve itself, but it is designed from nearby objects like the moon. No missions to the moon landing on the other end, because if the astronauts were behind the moon, there was no communication possible. All manned moon mission took place on the page in the vicinity, and only if the next closest was illuminated by the sun. Otherwise, the astronauts were in the dark, without contact with the earth.
