Hi,
I also saw it yesterday night... :D It's a faint blue star beside the Antares.

Actually, initially I thought I couldn't see it, but I accidentally defocus it slightly at 200x and saw a faint blue "dot" inside the antares defocused ring, but disappear when I focus it. So I put in a 2x barlow to get 400x magnification and I saw a faint blue dot beside Antares quite clearly... :D :D :D

Have a nice day.
