I am not a "hoaxer."
I also FIRMLY believe we've been to space.
I'm just asking a question. The cameras used even back then was very hi def. They should have picked up stars in such a dark background of the lunar surface.

It's been answered like four times in the first page of this thread. Either you're a hoaxer or a troll.

I'm trying to answer you. Politely too.
The 1960s, custom Hasselblad cameras were excellent, but I don't think I'd classify them as "hi-def".
"They should have picked up stars in such a dark background" is simply an inaccurate statement. You can wish it to be true, but that does not change optics nor physics.
NOTE: I worked in USA's Camera Lab at the Johnson Space Center, for Space Shuttle, from 2006-2011. What else can I answer?

You can see this if you have a bright light in your yard. Go outside at night and focus your phone's camera on the area lit by the bright light (as in the moon pics that you posted) and it will struggle to pick up stars in the night sky.
If the astronauts had been trying to take pictures of stars they would have focused on the "sky" and extended the exposure time so that the camera could capture more light
