I had a quick peek when it was a moon diameter away. It just skimmed the edge later on I believe but didn't see it then.

Earlier on it skimmed the star above and left of Antares ..er, SAO 184336 or 20 Sigma Scorpii. I took a shot of the moon at that time and just realised I also have the star in the frame which I processed further for it to show up.

It's slightly trailed in this image due to motion blur - the moon was 1000 frames.
