Probably not so off-topic at all. Satellites in lunar orbit have actually
been observed from Earth with (larger) telescopes, most notably one of the
Lunar Orbiters (I have a photo of the obs somewhere, scan available on
request). IIRC it had to be maneuvered to produce a bit of a flare off of
its solar panels, I suppose it would have been way too faint otherwise, but
hey, it worked.
