Portuguese term or phrase: observação do céu
Context: "entre o século IXº e XI a astronomia vive uma autêntica idade de ouro conhecendo grandes avanços tanto a nível de instrumentos matemáticos utilizados na astronomia como na observação do céu."

I have translated "observação do céu" to "star gazing".

Would there be any better translation?

Dei uma boa pesquisada e ambos parecem ser bem comuns - stargazing e skywatching.
