I agree with Tom in this instance. Although it would never be used to observe the Moons surface, even the Hubble Space Telescope would be unable to resolve details as small as anything that was left behind by the Apollo astronauts. It would be able to resolve a linear distance of about 85m. An average amateur telescope under good conditions, just under 2km.
The LRO by comparison can resolve much, much smaller details and so yes it is able to see equipment/footprints left behind.
