Remember when we had to wait a week for film to get developed from the observatory?
I just compared a print from 2003 of the Orion Nebula to the stacked image I pulled off my backyard camera last night. The difference in clarity is just wild, isn't it?

Man, that's a perfect example. It feels like everything works that way now. My old point-and-shoot camera photos look like foggy messes compared to what my phone can do. The tech just gets cheaper and better so fast it makes your head spin.

@taragibson, do you think we'll ever hit a limit to how much better this stuff can get?
