The new Nikon D810A has an “A” tacked onto its name for “astrophotography”—that means it’s made for taking pictures of stars and planets, not for taking photos of Jose Altuve. The camera has an optical IR-cut filter that lets in all the light captured by a regular camera, plus the red H-alpha-wavelength light emitted by many of your favorite nebulae and galaxies. It’s optimized for that narrow band of light (656 nm) and visible light, but it doesn’t let in infrared light (700nm and up).

I guess this is one of those instances of that saying "You have to pay to play"

And the next model the D810AE will allow you to take astronomy and regular photos coming out next year for the same price...

Canon guys mod their cheaper cameras the same way.
