For additional meanings of "Stargazer", please see Stargazer.

A stargazer was an amateur astronomer or casual observer of the stars, a hobby otherwise known as stargazing.While under the possession of Doctor Ira Graves in 2364, Data observed Kareen Brianon looking out the window in Ten Forward aboard the USS Enterprise-D. When he approached her, she told him that "the stars are so beautiful from space. Yet they seem…" but she was interrupted mid-sentence when Data-Graves interjected that "you always did love the sky. A stargazer. That is what you are." Kareen asked in Data had learned that from Graves, before admitting that "I guess he's right. I used to spend hours just lying on a hill, looking up." (TNG: "The Schizoid Man")

Picard's nephew René Picard also enjoyed stargazing. (TNG: "Family")

Upon meeting his clone Shinzon in 2379, Jean-Luc Picard and he shared how each "spent [their] youth looking up at the stars, dreaming about what was up there, about new worlds." (Star Trek Nemesis)
