Does anyone know what is regarded as the first photograph
that is space related; the moon, a planet, a star field or whatever
it may be and if it can be viewed online someplace?

Google was not my friend here.

I'm going to guess that based on the very low sensitivity of film in the earliest days, it's probably the moon, ore else an inadvertent capture of Venus in the background of an image.

Google really is your friend,

THE FIRST PHOTO OF THE MOON, 1839
