Object at the centre of curvature

With the object at the centre of curvature, the image forms right below it.

An object at C; the ray through F reflects parallel to the axis and the ray parallel to the axis reflects through F; they cross directly below C, forming an inverted image the same size as the object.

The image

At the centre of curvature, directly below the object.
