I'd been re-reading one of my space travel books and suddenly it hit me, while the LM ascent stages from Apollo's 5-9 & 11-17 are lost the ascent stage from Apollo 10 was left in a solar orbit when that mission left the moon.

With the increasing sophistication of amateur astronomy has anyone tried to find this historic vehicle? More to the point, have there been any attempts to do so with professional equipment in the past?
