I compared my old photo of the Orion Nebula to one I took last night

I dug up a picture I took of M42 back in 2021 with my old DSLR and a basic lens. The new one from last night, using the same camera but with a borrowed 200mm telescope from a friend in Tucson, is just crazy different. You can actually see the cloud shapes and some color now, not just a fuzzy gray blob. Has anyone else been shocked by how much a single piece of gear can change your results?
