"Star Watch" - from when to when?

I've heard the phrase "star watch" apparently used to describe being on guard overnight, when the stars are out. Given the oddities of Orlanthi time-keeping compared to ours: when is this? Surely not from dawn till dusk? That's a very long time to stay on watch! From midnight till dawn, say? Or what?

John Hughes, as the person who seems to use the phrase most - are you out there?
