DAE spend an entire night trying to get a single clear shot of the Orion Nebula only to realize your focus was off by a hair?

I was out in my backyard in Boise for 6 hours last Saturday, freezing my butt off, stacking what I thought were great frames, only to find every single one was slightly blurry because I didn't double-check the bahtinov mask on my 8" Dobsonian.

Oh I couldn't disagree more! For me, the whole point is getting that sharp, clear detail after all the work. A blurry shot just feels like a wasted night.

Honestly that blur might make a cooler artistic shot anyway lol.
