Thanks for that. I'll read it in detail.
This should be a standard question in telescope optics if anyone knows the answer. You have a mirror of a certain size. How large is the reflected image according to distance to the imaging screen (the Earth in this case)? For a flat mirror? For a parabolic mirror? For a bright source, how bright can the image be at the imaging screen?
