Yeah, ISS was for reference distance at which the capsule is may be still visible.

There was someone answering the question about seeing the LEM with a telescope and by the math the telescope needed to be huge only to get a pixel worth of LEM.
By that I guess can't see much if you want to look at it while orbiting the Moon, maybe when it will be nearer on its way back will be possible.
Now all depends on the size of the telescope, some amateurs showed pictures of the ISS with distinguishable dragon capsule so orion should be visible aswell.
Good luck tracking the orion capsule position tho.

Scorpio, easily recognisable with that long tail and bright Antares in the middle.
Too bad here is barely visible and can't enjoy it in its full might.

Reply to comment by ProfQuatermass42 in Green comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) will be closest to Earth on Feb. 1. Here's how to see it. by burtzev
It isn't that far from north star now, so a good chunk of northern emispher is covered.
It sucks for who's from Southern emispher but at least not as elusive as those damn solar eclipses.
Anyway magnitude is around 5 so unless you have the tools and a nice dark place, won't see shit regardless.
It's a bummer but so it's life.
