It was in the 1922 Nosferatu silent movie that added the sunlight thing. Not a big issue in 19th C vampire stories, which predate Dracula.
The not visible in a mirror thing may be vampires messing with your head. Also originally no telescopes had mirrors. Newton in 1688 was first, though Western Telescopes only date from about 1607 (patent in 1608).

It's a joke.

Someone posts an amusing cartoon that involves, telescopes, mirrors, and vampires.

The thread almost immediately pivots into a discussion about vampires, sunlight, qualities of the mirror material, the history of telescopes ...

Mirrors weren't used in telescopes until Newton.

Aluminized mirrors ftw!
