I have heard that the Hubble would be blinded immediately if it looked at something as bright as the earth or the moon. It has mechanisms that automatically close the cover if it gets within a certain number of degrees of either one.

There is a maybe image of a landing site, probably not Apollo but one of the robot cameras that plowed into the moon at speed, but if it shows something it is the crater, and even that is a little too small to be sure. Any actual hardware would be many times smaller.
