Seeing the JWST in Stellarium

[Jean Legros]

I've tried the many tutorial that explain how to get the JWST to appear in Stellarium for the life of me it will nor show up in the list so that I can add it. Anyone can point me to a way of doing that? I'm using Stellarium 0.21.3 on a MacBook Pro. I hank you in advance

I am not aware of such tutorial. The library our Satellites plugin is based on does not support satellites in L2 orbits. If somebody tells you it's possible, please ask them personally, and tell us. Probably just after start, while in low earth orbit, compatible orbital elements were available. But this is history now.

BTW, it may be time to update to Stellarium 25.3. It will not include JWST but whatever the ~16 versions in-between brought with them.
