By companion to Antares, did you mean M4 or NGC6121? I found the later using my little 6" dob at a dark sky site last Saturday for the first time. Seeing and probably aperture prevented me from resolving any stars but it was fun to find and actually rather obvious once I got Antares out of the FOV.
