Like a fisheye lens exposed to all the sky yeah but I just can't visualise how rays that are not near parallel to a closed tube optical axis will hit the mirror at the end of it, with baffles as well, etc... The few that hit the primary sideways would they even bounce to the secondary or miss it altogether?
