Details:
Using JPL-NASA ephemeris data and scripts written by Shawn Gano, I located the Orion-Artemis II spacecraft within Stellarium and could then image it, similar to how I would image a fast-moving asteroid or comet. It was moving among the stars, 333,800 Km (207,400 miles) from earth at the time of the photos.
PlateSolve3 indicates the spacecraft is currently around magnitude 16-ish
