At last, Ive finally caught it.
Stacked video using 10x video zoom, EOS 600D, 10 inch f5.6 newtonian. Poor seeing. Am keen to image Antares' companion later in the year. Part of the video here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf-VSZHP19M)

Its very faint but there and a difficult capture owing to its closeness and dimness. I have imaged this too and would love to get Alpha Centauri and Antares as well. I managed to see it visually with a blue filter at 320x at 55 deg alt in good seeing but avg seeing would make it too tricky.
