It is unfortunately not possible to see items man has left on the moon. The SkyProdigy can magnify up to 72x which can give you a full view of the moon. Here's a photo posted to a astronomy forum for reference: https://3.img-dpreview.com/files/p/TS1600x1600~forums/52895672/9bd0d7c786c74c8e8554c06f43673cc5

No ground based amateur telescope can see the landers, but valleys, craters and mountains are very readily visible through maksutovs, cassegrains, newtonians, and some refractors.
