Where is JWST in the sky

Does anyone know how to find the James Webb Space Telescope in the sky.
It has to be near the meridian around midnight as well as near the ecliptic continuously when it gets to L2. But where can I find its accurate co-ordinates. JPL's 'Horizon System' website is no help. Since its tennis court size aluminised sunshield always faces towards the sun and earth it should be visible in any decent amateur telescope even at L2 1.5 million km away. Wonder what its magnitude should be.
