astrónomo, soñador, observador de estrellas
Hola. It depends on the context...of which we didn't get much. Are you talking about a professional stargazer? Then it's "astrónomo". Are you talking about a amateur stargazer? Then you may go for "observador de estrellas" (as pointed by colleagues above). Are you talking about a dreamer? Then, we've got "soñador",...
Take your pick then and good luck

To gaze significa mirar fijamente, por eso elegí contemplador.

aficionado a la comtemplación de las estrellas
I assume "star gazing" it's a hobby for this person in particular. Therefore in Spanish it sounds have the word "aficionado" (fan).

Quien contempla estrellas
As my peers say, this could be a translation in the context of someone actually looking up to the stars. If, however, you are referring to a person obsessed with famous people (like the maps to the house of the stars that offer 'first-class star gazing chances'), the term would be 'admirador' o 'fanático de las estrellas'.
