Went back to Mauna Kea after 12 years, the visitor center photo wall threw me off
I stopped by the Onizuka Center last week on my way up the mountain and noticed their old printed photo display got swapped for a big touchscreen. The shots of the Keck domes at sunset were still there, but nobody was printing the classic 8x10s anymore. I get that digital is easier to update after every season, but I kinda miss the worn edges and handwritten captions under each picture. Anyone else notice their old observing spots changed how they show astro photos over the years?

Twelve years of progress and the big deal is the photos got digital, really? The mountain hasn't moved, the stars haven't changed, just the way you stare at old pictures of them.
