Offered is my Sony A7S camera body that is enabled for H-Alpha and NA emissions. The sensor filter modification was performed by LifePixel. The camera is used, with 20,000 shutter actuations. It is in good condition and everything works fine.

Other upgrades include the brass metal "Signature" E-mount for enhanced strength and rigidity, extra batteries, custom L-bracket. 

Let me answer a few questions.

  1. Can it be used for ordinary light photography? YES, just use a simple custom color balance. 
  2. How about the Sony Star Eater firmware problem? This is similar to the past Nikon problem, where excessive spatial filtering was activate above a certain exposure level. Stay in manual and keep your exposures under 30 seconds and no problem.

Stock cameras have a steep downward curve in the deep reds limiting most of the sensitivity to the hydrogen alpha wavelengths. Have us modify your camera to allow the reds to pass through to the sensor without any blocking of the hydrogen alpha wavelengths. Allowing for much higher sensitivity and thus shorter, less noisy exposures.

Includes: 

  • 1 year warranty on the conversion service and installed H-Alpha filter.
  • Toll free phone and email support for life.
