Well, that was dissapointing

The Moon, just seconds after Antares disappeared behind it's dark side.

I was worried about drizzle from the cloud that was playing peekaboo with the Moon, so I bought the webcam and laptop out at the last minute, uncovered the telescope, and set the camera up.

I had a bit of trouble getting the Moon centred, and just as I was reaching for the button to take my first image, Antares went bye-bye (sigh).

Still, I got to see the occultataion (if only in a non-relaxed, reaching for a control kind of way), there was some beautiful Moonbows and a bit of high drama, so I can count it as a good night.
