That's the official unclassified resolution.
Does anyone know for sure that there is not some other SECRET higher resolution camera on board?
I'd be willing to best that NRO has assets with the needed resolution somewhere in orbit, and most likely NGA has pictures too. Some day soon we may have access to them.

ahahahaahahahahaah, "track" a SIGNAL , a RADIO SIGNAL,
radio signals are Omnidirectional, without extremely sensitive ( not available to the general populous ) multi-locational equipment and geosynchronous timing ( even today a severe challenge, in the 60's impossible for the amateur ,and nearly impossible for the not amateur ) ,tracking a signal, especially one coming from outside the ionosphere, is a very interesting trick ( otherwise GPS WOULD HAVE BEEN A SNAP IN THE 60's) , perhaps you have a different definition of "Tracking" ( well given your posts you certainly do )
a radio wave used to transmit and receive messages radio emission, radio radiation, radio wave - an electromagnetic wave with a wavelength between 0.5 cm to 30,000 m
tracking:
1. Precise and continuous position-finding of targets by radar, optical, or other means. (DOD) 2. In air intercept, a code meaning, "By my evaluation, target is steering true course indicated."
they were (possibly ) receiving a RADIO WAVE , they were not tracking it in any other sense than attenuation ( strength) . TRACKING requires stereoscopic receptors and microsecond differentiation in signal times (Doppler differentiation), your argument ( no matter how long) is not pertinent to any intelligent observer.
for example " I am watching (listening to ) a television program on vhf" is not equivalent to " I am tracking the signal source AND verifying that it is not a repeater" simply by receiving it with equipment unable to , IN ANY WAY TRACK OR VERIFY THE SIGNAL SOURCEedit on 15-9-2011 by Silverlok because: (no reason given)

Back in the 60s I had friends in intelligence that said we could read a pack of cigarettes (60?) miles away. You can imagine what we can do now.

"No-fly zone" on the moon has come up in this thread. Is that for real? I saw nothing about that in the OP link. I need to go back through the posts and follow-up on the links and videos still. Maybe it was there or a link can be provided about that. Why No-Fly? That's usually a matter of politics.
If this has already been answered sorry, but here's a link to one of the threads about the reported No-Fly Zone:
