Hi again Chris; the infinity setting is useless for astro shots, almost all lenses go beyond the infinity symbol. In Live View choose a bright star, magnify it10x and a white dot will appear in a box at the bottom right corner of the screen.
Adust the focus until the bright star becomes as small as the
aforementioned white dot. If using a zoom lens, make sure that the focusing is carried out at the same focal length that you use to take the shots, as moving the zoom will change the focus.
