The ultimate ZWO astrophotography bundle — featuring the precision FF65 APO refractor, the compact AM3 harmonic drive mount, and the lightweight TC40 carbon fibre tripod. Together, they deliver professional-level imaging performance in a portable setup — and you’ll receive a FREE PE160 Pier Extension for extra flexibility and balance.
The ZWO FF65 APO is a premium flat-field refractor telescope with a built-in flattener, eliminating the need for back-focus calculations or extra optics. Perfect for full-frame astrophotography, it produces sharp, round stars from edge to edge with outstanding colour correction thanks to its quintuplet air-spaced lens design.
The AM3 Mount provides precise tracking and slewing with ZWO’s proven harmonic drive system — offering whisper-quiet operation, lightweight construction, and full ASIAIR integration. The TC40 Tripod complements it perfectly, built from carbon fibre for strength, stability, and easy transport.
