Where did you find the Ad Astra director's cut? I did a quick search for it and all I could find were articles where the director complains about the theatrical cut, but I couldn't find an actual directors cut anywhere

Not sure how OP knows about the specifics of Ad Astra's director's cut, since it doesn't exist. At least not yet. Look at what James Gray, the director, said about the matter in an interview for Vulture (late 2022):

The director’s cut is 12 minutes shorter, by the way. When is the director’s cut shorter than the released version? But there is somehow more Ruth Negga and more Donald Sutherland in it. There are other things that are much shorter. But I’d love to do it.
