Been taking astro photos for years before I noticed my focus was always off

It wasn't until I zoomed in on a shot of the Andromeda galaxy from two months ago that I saw all my stars were slightly bloated - been using live view wrong the whole time. Anybody else have a moment where a simple setting change fixed years of blurry shots?

Huh, same thing happened to me with my telescope mount.

You ever think live view is just for framing and ignore the zoom function? I used to swear my focus was fine, but after reading this I checked my old shots and realized how wrong I was.
