Yes, the "full moon". I'd like to see the left over NASA stuff and other crap on the moon.

Congrats!
Yeah, checking out the flag, tracks from the vehicle, trash, etc. would be interesting.
NASA has to have those pics. If I was motivated and not focused on The Post Whore Thread I'd search for them.
Very rarely, we'll throw the eyepiece onto the 3.5m telescope and look through it. Thats super fun! I've seen Saturn and you can count the rings. Looking at Jupiter, you can see the striations and count them too! We've targeted various Apollo landing sights, but you can't see any flags or anything.
We do have a giant ass laser that we shine through the back end of the 3.5m telescope and hit some reflectors they left on the moon to determine the exact distance to the moon. If I recall, we can calculate it within a few millimeters. A few years back, MythBusters did an episode here and they all came to the site. That happened shortly before I arrived sadly!
Here ya go, this is our 3.5m telescope shooting the moon:

Cool! Looks like the Death Star blasting Alderaan.
Holy crap.. green lasers shot at the moon. Is that bright flash something on the moon getting torched or just the reflection?
