Annoying, because I often use that as my second guess (if the letters permit), but just felt like trying something else

Astronomers are moon starers? (8)
As pkfox spotted, "Astronomers" is an anagram of "moon starers" - but more importantly, it's an APTAGRAM[^] as well.
"NOTES" and "TONES" are anagrams and synonyms, so they are also an aptagram.
I win! Not sure when tomorrows will be posted: I have both Flu and Covid booster jabs tomorrow at 08:00, and it'll be up to the NHS when I get back. Please bear with me if it's a little late.

I knew that but it didn't twig
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!" - Hunter S Thompson - RIP

Hah! Not even close to professional crypticism!
How about "Gegs (9, 4)"?
Or "One may take issue with rising fish stocks (9)" perhaps?
Spoilers:
"SCRAMBLED EGGS"
"KIDNAPPER"

Scrambled Eggs I got (I think I have seen that in a wacky wordy)
Please explain kidnapper.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

One may take issue with rising fish stocks (9)
One may take issue (definition)
with and
rising DNA
fish stocks KI PPER
A kipper is a smoked herring, preserved so you can keep a load in stock after a fishing trip. I think this was probably originally a "down" clue, hence the "rising" reversing the order.

I'm going to extend this to 5 hours, as the visit took longer than I expected and I couldn't respond to pkfox's try in a reasonable time).

Sorry, but it's not the answer ... for starters it's plural and tehre is only one anagram there ...

Keep trying, you'll get there! They do take a bit of thinking about (and probably a mind like a corkscrew at times).
I don't get all of them either.

Thanx for the encouragement. I will.
Perhaps if I offered my own.
A phrase from TX state song.

How many letters? (Not that I'm likely to get it, I've never ever heard the Texas state song, despite a couple of work trips to Dallas / Fort Worth.)
