A chat with my neighbor about his old telescope
I was helping him clean his garage in Phoenix last weekend and he pulled out this big, dusty Celestron from the 90s. He said, 'Back then, I'd spend all night trying to see a faint smudge of a galaxy, and now my phone can show me a Hubble shot in a second.' It hit different because he wasn't sad about it, he was just happy more people can see the stuff he loved. Made me think about how we value the hunt versus the picture itself. Anyone else have an old piece of gear that changed meaning for them over time?
