Paul,

Sky & Telescope's story leads the reader to this IOTA site...

http://www.lunar-occultations.com/iota/bstar/0607antares.htm

...which shows a reappearance at 7:52, 7 degrees above the horizon -- very
close to your numbers.  The sun is 3 degrees below the opposite horizon at
the time.


The companion star in the Antares double star system will reappear a few
seconds before the primary, but I don't know if you will be able to see it
against that bright sky.

Tom
