They have taken shots of the moon with Hubble, I never said they hadn't......you just seemed to be insinuating that it's capable of getting a really "good" shot and that it was being withheld.
Why cant it take good pics of the moon? It's perfectly capable of being focused and exposure times can be adjusted too, so why not?

Because that's not what it was designed for, I have a cordless drill that I could knock a nail in with, it's a lot more technologically advanced than my hammer.....but it wasn't designed for that so I use the hammer.
Considering that Hubble circles the planet every 97 minutes coupled with the close proximity of the moon and the fact that it is a telescope that was designed to collect light and not as a magnification instrument, I'm not convinced that it is perfectly capable of being focused etc. to get a more detailed image of the moon than it already has done.
To be perfectly honest it has captured some pretty good shots of the moon already.......I just don't think the operators of Hubble are all that interested in trying to get ultra close up shots of moon landing sites just to shut up conspiracy theorists......I don't think that was what it was created and deployed for.

I agree with most of what you say, but it can and has taken shots of the moon, and being as they DID take those shots they must have had a reason. Why dont they release those shots to the public?
Can Hubble see the Apollo landing sites on the Moon? No, Hubble cannot take photos of the Apollo landing sites. An object on the Moon 4 meters (4.37 yards) across, viewed from HST, would be about 0.002 arcsec in size. The highest resolution instrument currently on HST is the Advanced Camera for Surveys at 0.03 arcsec. So anything we left on the Moon cannot be resolved in any HST image. It would just appear as a dot.

I'm currently working on application of image deconvolution procedure to restore details from orbital photos of lunar surface from Apollo Program.

There's not a lot of difference between the way hubble and other camera's work, it's the settings they feed it that make the difference.
1. Point at moon.
2. Adjust focus.
3. Adjust exposure time.
4. Apply pressure to the little button on the top

Back on topic. Don't be disappointed if you don't see anything right away. Your eyes and brain just need to get used to the perspective and how outlines of objects are represented with difference in brightness.
Generally speaking, brighter pixels represent the structural material raised from ground and slightly darker pixels representing ground space or the gap between objects. So the shape of an object can be seen by the outline of relatively darker pixels surrounding it. I will try to post some examples.

Just hang tight. The next one I think even you will dig wmd_2008.

Why does the picture seem to contain more visual information when inverted? Is somebody on the Moon trying to hide their presence using counter-recon tactics?

The question is, what is the origin and nature of these tubes that litter the landscape?
