“I always wondered where the ground based telescope pics of the landing site were/are??
Are there any?”

The moon is a quarter million miles away. Even without the atmosphere in the way, the optics don’t exist (and probably can’t) that can resolve anything as small as the landing site and the artifacts (and tracks, etc) left behind from that distance.

This is about as close as I've seen so far.

There’s pictures of Apollo spacecrafts in transit from earth-to-moon and back. Pictures by institutional astronomers & amateurs but that’s the best you’re going to do. 50,000 miles is the furthest out I remember.

Follow up: But these are not from a telescope on the earth.
