McGill C H is proud to offer local astronomy enthusiasts a rare opportunity to own quality yet highly affordable apochromatic scopes NOW! Gone are the days when normal people can only envy the super-rich who get to own one or more APO scopes!
By partnering with the increasing well-known company Sky-Watcher, McGill is breaking new grounds in Singapore and South East Asia! We’re offering unheard-of prices in the history of astronomical equipment in Singapore! Be a part of this fantastic movement!
These APO scopes may not be truly “APO” in the purist sense and unable to occupy equal status with the more established brands like T-brand or A-brand, but these are definitely very good bargains considering the performance they deliver at such low prices! The Sky-Watcher ED80 version is actually similar to Orion’s ED80, which has received countless praises from reviews all over the world! Actually both are made in the same factory in China!
CNY OFFER!!!!! Limited quantity!!!

This is provided Orion ships to Singapore.ariefm71 wrote:the ed80 ota price at $970 seems comparable to opt's orion 80ed price shipped to singapore, mcgill's offer has an advantage of having local warranty, though.
if only they have a white color version :-)


Hi acc, just to point out that with some shopping around, the cost should only be about SGD840. E.g., I got mine from a shop in WA state, and since it's out of state, they charge 0% sales tax and free shipping, and give further 5% discount some more
In fact, I didn't realise this before, but most shops in the US may give a discount when asked. E.g., OPT gives 5-10% discount.
