Thanks Steve, I danced around like an excited little school boy when I saw Antares pop out from the Lunar limb, as I was uncertain if I would be able to see it on the computer screen as I had the exposure parameters set for the Moon.

After a good night’s sleep, I was able to stretch the AS4! Stacked image to reveal the trail of Antares, which I have boosted in intensity in this image.
