    The 1 the yanks left on the moon?

    Only 3 months ago i bought a CPC 925 XCT telescope for over £2,000, been scanning the moon every night since & cannot see the flag.

    Have i been sold a dud telescope or did the yanks never actually go there?

    Like anyone would believe you bought a telescope for looking at the moon.

    Wrong type of scope. He should have got a spotting scope.

    Unlucky Huth.

    A flag on the moon is too small to be seen by even the largest Earth-based telescope. You'll need to splash the cash for a Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.

    Would that come with cashback for my telescope?
