At 14mm on a D800, you should be sharper than that i would expect.
Infinity is sometimes way off the infinity marker on the lens.
On my Sigma lens, infinity is a mile away from the marker.
I use liveview at max ISO, zoomed in fully on a bright planet or star first to get the focus right, by making it as small a point of light on the screen as possible. Then adjust the ISO back down and leave the focus alone in manual mode.
Keep at it though

Thanks Bob.

I agree the shot should be sharper and I'll try your focusing tip. I'd pre-focused the lens and may have nudged the focus ring. Infinity on my Samyang is no where near the infinity marker either.
