there is a great blog post about astro fighting patterns that tells you a lot of information about how astros move. But if you are having trouble aiming, I suggest getting behind something quick and keeping your crosshair on the nearest edge where it will come out. Another useful fact: Astros do not shoot more rapidly when you are closer, so if you very quickly get close to them and shoot they will probably die. It is way easier to hit closer in.
