Further to my first post, I rough processed each end of a 30 sec NexImage capture just after Antares had reappeared (still fuming that I just had to adjust the field at the moment of re-appearance!). The two sequences used were separated by 21 sec and show the relative movement of Antares. I noticed in jjjnettie's photo posted in the Observational forum that her Antares is the same peculiar triangular shape. Could anyone confirm that this shape is in fact influenced by the dimmer companion?
I suppose what I'm getting at is that all things being equal, perhaps the NexImage at the settings I used might have actually captured a trace of the dim companion for the few seconds before Antares emerged (if I hadn't stuffed up), and if so I might have a guide for similar occultations in the future. Never done this before!
Have also included image processed from just the first sequence.
Cheers -
