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.

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.
