Lester,

It is an F5.9 Semi APO, see here:

There are three similar models, a Petzval ED semi, the one I have and an ED Triplet APO.

And I cropped out the outer 25% of the image where the field curvature started to be noticeable - I should have said that in my notes.

There is a review of this family in the May Sky and Telescope, so far my view is 100% positive...
