So did I. I used our 4"Unitron and snapped the moon with a Canon Ixus auto exposure, then put the most of the Moon out of the frame to capture Antares, then merged both images in Photoshop and got rid of the glare. I had a bit of a problem with focus just before occultation so I didn't get the star near the rim. Best photo was about 10 minutes before.
