Re: I want to optimize my arcana cleric & how do I represent the astronomy skill in D
It could be represented by several skills. As other's said, Survival/Navigator's tools to orient yourself at night, knowing the constellations through Nature, maybe History. When you're in a magical world, the constellations might have myths/legends (as a thing that actually happened) connected to them (a dragon was beloved by a goddess, and when the dragon died, the goddess put its soul into the stars as a constellation), which could be represented by a Religion/Arcana check.
I have a char concept of a wandering astronomer (mechanically Lore bard), who wants to learn and share all the secrets of the stars (share the constellations through spells like Silent Image and other Illusions, tell the story connected to it...)
