Can anyone tell me if the WEBB Telescope will viewable from earth when it reaches its final position in L2?

 

I have this idea that I'd like to photograph it once it is in orbit there.

 

 

Thank you!

Highly unlikely as it’s a very small object and is 1.5 million km away.  People have been able to take pictures of it on its way though.

There are other spacecraft already at L2 so a long project over a year may reveal some movement against the background stars with suitable equipment.
