I was able to see the reemergence of Antares with my new Starbuckets scope I got a few days ago. Nice way to break in the scope. Quite amazing. Very beautiful to see the bright orange dot "suddenly" reappear from behind the moon, right when you expect it. I've always been clouded out for lunar occulations of major stars and planets, so this was a real treat.
