nor have there been pix taken of any of the moon apparatus.

What are you really asking?
Do you believe that it is odd that we can't take a picture of a flag looking straight down at it (an object that would be approximately 2-mm thick) from a distance of 384,403 kilometers? There is no such camera.
There is lunar apparatus that is currently in use right now. The lunar laser ranging experiment has been used to prove that the moon is moving away from the earth at a rate of approximately 3.8 cm per year. This equipment has been used by numerous different scientists from around the world.
Again, there is no camera that could take a picture of this equipment.
Are you suggesting that there is no such equipment? Please.
Go back to watching your x-files reruns and leave the serious stuff to people who can think.

I don't know where the flag is, but is it on the side we can see from earth? It might just be off in the shadows or behind a mountain. It would also be an incredible waste of time. Super telescopes have long long waiting lists of people to use them for specific reasons and every minute costs and counts.

All 5 answers above are incorrect.
FLAG:
Photo Description: Astronaut Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr. (Buzz Aldrin), lunar module pilot of the first lunar landing mission, poses beside the deployed United States flag during Apollo 11 Extravehicular Activity (EVA) on the lunar surface. The Lunar Module (LM) is on the left, and the footprints of the astronauts are clearly visible in the soil of the Moon. Astronaut Neil A. Armstrong, commander, took this picture with a 70mm Hasselblad lunar surface camera on 20 JULY 1969.

The red and blue filters employed in Moon Blink APPARATUS have made surface colour more detectable by "blinking" the colour contrast effect. I have personal experience of witnessing three TLP events. In January 1967, *Patrick Moore, Terrance Moseley, Mike Duckworth, Peter Sartory, and I reported a small Red abnormality on the outer wall of Gassendi. This remains one of the few independently corroborated colour anomalies seen by multiple observers and is recorded in a NASA Technical Report.
Image was made on December 17, 2005 - with a Canon 350D DSLR via a 127mm Mak-Cass with x2 tele-extender lens to give 3000mm focal length at f23.6. 1/80 second at ISO 100. Image processed on Photoshop 5.5 with a one-click 'autolevels' then by increasing the colour saturation to +70.

If you've ever watched any documentaries on it, there is a lot of evidence to suggest the flag was never put on the moon!

Why would anyone use a multi-million dollar camera/telescope to take pictures of a flag on the moon. Please feel free to educate yourself on this subject and then realize how silly you sound.

Because there is no flag.
