In this video I use my observatory telescope to locate the landing sites of Apollo missions 11, 15, 16, and 17. At the time of filming, the landing sites of Apollo 12 and Apollo 14 were on the night side of the moon and could not be seen. Note that it is impossible to see any of the artefacts left on the moon by the Apollo mission with any earth-based telescope.
