Well, we had a successful observation.
There were 8 observers operating 14 stations, all observing multiple events and most saw the reappearance of Antares B before the reappearance of Antares A, expecially on the final R event.

Present were...
DaveH - 2 video stations and 1 visual station
Darren - 1 video station
DaveG (me) - 1 video stations and 1 visual station
Hristo - 1 video stations and 1 visual station
Kev - 1 visual station
Trev - 1 visual station
Chris - 1 video stations and 1 visual station
Stephen - 1 video stations and 1 visual station

The analysis of our records is a work in progress but my video can be seen here...

note the telescope was defocused to try and limit the effects of image saturation by spreading the light from Antares over many pixels.

and the light curve can be seen here...
