My experience with a mirror lens is BAD.  It was an off-brand 500/8. I swore
I'd never get another.  I did later consider a used Oly 500/8, but
eventually passed on it.  They also have donut-shaped bokeh which many find
distasteful.  I see no evidence of that in your photos. I've also used
cassegrain telescopes for terrestrial photography and always been
disappointed.  So, I was impressed with your results.  My message WAS meant
as a compliment. Hope that wasn't lost in the worry over the mirror lens.
