I read an article on astigmatism and it said this "Sometimes astigmatism can be detected by an individual if he covers one eye to look at an object, and then changes to cover the other eye. By switching back and forth between covering each eye while looking at the single object or in one direction, it will become apparent with astigmatism that the object seems to move, as though each eye is seeing it in a slightly different location." I thought this was normal due to slightly different position of each eye? The object definitely moved for me.....Let me know what happens for you

Article was wrong.
The apparent movement is due to phoria, a normal condition due to the distance between the two eyes that almost everyone has.
With large amount of astigmatism, if you look at a protractor like target with lines going out at various directions, some lines will be clearer than others.
