I got into astrophotography around 2022. If you’re new to the hobby, ZWO is most certainly a brand you’ve heard of. There are so many astro cameras available, but there wasn’t really a good way to compare the specs of each. Depending on what you’re trying to capture, you might choose one camera over another. For example, the ASI174MM is a popular camera for solar or lunar imaging for its fast frame rate which enables lucky imaging, but that isn’t necessarily a useful spec for DSO work. This small project gave me the excuse I needed to try Svelte.

Everything in one table

The whole app at its core is a single, filterable and sortable table. Use the filter menu to toggle exactly which spec columns you care about.

Learning Svelte

Most of what I build lives in React, so this was my deliberate detour to try something new. Building a small project is always a great way to learn a new technology or language. While simple at face value, there was enough interactivity to test out some of Svelte’s reactivity model.
