re: How many believe we went to the moon, but manufactured most images?

Also, shouldn’t today’s advanced scopes be able to capture images showing the landing site and items left behind?

Not 'advanced scopes', but yes, there are optics that let the presence of evidence of man's going to the moon be seen, down to rover tracks and footprints that can be seen by the LRO. They're still half heartedly searching for the golf balls when they make passes over the appropriate landing areas.

Likewise, the lunar laser ranging retroreflector array remains on the moon from the installation of it by Apollo 11-- you can shine a laser at the moon, and with the right equipment, detect the bounced back laser from the retrorelector array.
