Currently the JWST is near the Rosette nebula, but it will continue to change as we orbit the sun. Since the L2 point is always away from the sun, so the JWST will always be in our night sky and as such in different constellations. It's not overly hard to capture, but will become more difficult as it continues to move father from us. I managed to do so on 3 occasions with only a RedCat 51.



The most precise way to find it is with the JPL Horizons App: https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/horizons/app.html



I put together a little video detailing how to photograph it here if you're interested in more info: https://youtu.be/O5NC99suIhA
