As I recall Antares has been imaged at a scale larger than a single pixel. It showed what appeared to be a huge coronal mass ejection, but unlike our Sun's CMEs this was imense! Maybe millions of kilometres in size. I think the image I saw was in a book or magazine somewhere, about a year ago? The caption said something like "the only other star to be imaged".
You could probably google it or look on Sky & Tel and come up with something.
I am always impressed when I look at Alpha Centauri AB and realise that I am looking at a distance comparable to the Sun to Neptune separation. This is my favourite "public viewing" target.
