Mirror lens as piggyback scope

Hi folks...

Just got my seestar, and due to its convenience have been doing more imaging in the last month than i have in the last 2 years with my old setup.

It could do with a tad more reach, and since its actually very good at tracking, i thought i might piggyback something on it....

This would have to be fairly light - so im thinking something like a DSLR mirror lens, which are (presumably due to their crapness) very cheap on the second hand market....

My question is: How crap are they?

Has anyone used something like a 500mm F8 mirror lens for imaging deep sky and what are the results like?

cheers for any advice....
