Details:
There is a lot of hype concerning the dimming of Betelgeuse. Scanning my old Orion picture vs the recent one, I tried to adjust the other stars in the frame to similar luminosity. Of course the response of film vs. a modern sensor is quite different. The dimming of Betelgeuse is still rather obvious.
