Glance = quick look

......a couple of glances at the moon

Either is possible; 'gaze' makes more sense, since the context obviously speaks to the relationship of the two individuals.

There appears to be a difference of opinion as to the meaning of the original posts. Are we counting the times the moon is looked at, or are we talking about the action of two people?

Given the latter, I would use gaze to be perfectly correct, but I would prefer gazes , in order to put the people a little closer together, as one.
