Actually my first attempt didn't work, so I just used:
apt-cache dumpavail |less
and /ed for field::astro
But just now I did:
grep-dctrl -n -s Package -F Tag field::astronomy <(apt-cache dumpavail)
which works.
There are also a tag browsers (which I haven't used until just now):
debtags search field::astronomy
packagesearch - GUI for searching packages and viewing package information
adept - package manager for KDE
tagcoll - Commandline tool to perform operations on tagged collections
