astrostash

An astronomy and astrophysics database building/syncing tool

Astrostash is designed to allow users to "stash" query results from astronomy/astrophysics data sources (e.g., HEASARC) into a local SQLite3 database. This ensures data retention and reduces reliance on external services for recurring queries.

---

🌟 Features

• Local data storage: Retain copies of query results in a SQLite3 database so you can keep your own copy of the data you use and care about having access to.
• Efficient querying: Prioritizes querying from your local database before pulling data externally to limit external requests.
