With corrector they are beyond reproach .Comparing designs for imaging by looking at mirror systems without their correctors is just a waste of time. Even RC's require field flatteners which can be two lens involved.

The word 'astrogragh' implies a unified system designed to image the sky - lets stick to that definition.
