Anakin's stealth ship is targeted first with infrared sensors on missiles/torpedos, and he fires burning flares. This serves to cause the torpedos/missiles to target the flares.>_<
Later his cloaked ship is targeted if just barely by sensing the stealth ship's magnetic fields.

I seem to remember a few story lines where they sit in orbit around a planet near the tech level of modern Earth with no one seeming to notice the ship. One of those planets was nearly finished on their first warp drive prototype, and the Enterprise was there to try and help them succeed in secret, and prepare the government for the things they would have to face.
