If you mean pictures of it from earth? There's no telescope with that kind of resolution. Even the Hubble pointed right at the moon wouldn't be able to see it, though they have taken pictures of the area with Hubble. (The picture of the vehicle on the moon isn't from the Hubble, it's from when they were there)

Eventually the LRO will be able to take pictures of the sites:
