Thank´s!
After reviewing 27 pages in this thread, my takeaway is that non-US photographers use pinholes more than photographers from the US. Are non-US photographers bolder?

Nah, we just can't afford lenses.
<grin, duck, run...>

Yes and no no.
Yes, I started with pinhole because I had no budget to have a camera.
No. I already have a camera and I still shoot with pinhole.
And...
No. There are more people in the rest of the world than in America. Numbers! Lol

The photograph and the thing being photographed are not the same thing.
Joe, those are great!
Seconded; those are excellent.

Joe, Very nice images! Do they allow you access to the labs there? Do they give tours?
Jon, the regular tour is in the museum and out to the first antenna, but the tour guide says you can arrange to have special tours of the lab. Another thing I noticed is a fenced in dirt parking area out by the main entrance road, away from the buildings. There may be a way to get special permission for star gazing there, which could be spectacular, given the distance to the nearest town, Socorro, is 20 miles and Albuquerque is nearly 100 miles north. I'd assume the skies to the west and south would be very dark.

Thank you all for the kind comments. I was especially pleased that the compositions worked as planned, given that my wooden box camera only uses viewing dots, on the sides and top, for composing. The day after I made these, I shot a video on how I use viewing dots for composing scenes, take a look if you're interested.
