Sorry for this question (hope not to attract trolling replies here), but
do you think, that with better equipment and a series of pictures it
were possible to obtain the last picture with its details also from the
Earth surface?

It's been done by equipment substantially inferior to
Pete's. The trick is to have the shutter open at precisely
the right time. Good seeing is everything.


No, to my knowledge the Apollo shot is still unsurpassed and well
above what the current amateur equipment can achieve.
