An easy way to locate the few Lagrange Points' position in Stellarium?

I heard the Kordylewski Cloud is at L4 & L5, and get interested in them.

I also "heard that". Can we just plot a dot 60° from the Moon, in the average distance of the moon? These things are so elusive that no dependable model seems to be available anywhere.

Don't say metoo. Can any of you two send some recent (post-2000) work on the topic which could indicate its relevance? Digital images that clearly shows these clouds, and not a 1970s photo plate copied and scanned to death?

It could also be the other way 'round: since most people have no simple way to find and track these objects, because popular apps don't have them, you'd expect a dearth of images on amateur astronomy sites.

As a workaround, one could use the angle measurement tool in combination with ecliptic and/or moon orbit display (even if it cannot be attached to the Moon) ?

This is a good task for the community to participate in the contribution into Stellarium. Who wants to help us?
