The optic nerve blind spot is off-center, toward the side away from your nose in your field of vision, and it’s a total blind spot. The fovea is in the center of your field of vision and isn’t really a blind spot, it’s just specialized for higher resolution at the expense of sensitivity so it becomes like a second blind spot in dim conditions.

So the optic nerve blind spot wouldn’t really be noticeable when stargazing with both eyes. That’s what I was expecting or vaguely recalling.
