Ahhh ahhh ahhh, the gnome of the forum ... hopefully not mix things again!
In your experience, what are the minimum dimensions for the spherical reflection map?
Beware the gnome!

That would depend on the resolution you render in.
Fro background they need to be quite big - but in reflection maps I usually find that you can get away with smaller maps - but it depends on the scene.

Increase the multipler for your map.

and if the reflection is still a bit hazy and blury and mirror material is too dark?
