If it will just be used for astrophotography, go for an 'Ha Mod' where the replacement filter passes the H-alpha line, but still cuts out the infrared. Lifepixel is good. For smaller operations, I've also had good luck with Daniel at https://astrogear.net and Max at https://nightskycamera.com Let me know if you have any other questions, and I'd be happy to answer.

2022-10-30 20:15:43 +0000 UTCQuestion - Saw a video where you converted an existing camera for enhanced IR-Red. I can't find that video but found the website camera conversion service: https://www.lifepixel.com/infrared-filters-choices

2022-10-30 20:13:16 +0000 UTCMy choice would be the Benro except for the lack of software support. That's disappointing. Of course the Star Ad GTi is a great device. I just wonder about it in some situations...
