Fritz Helmut Hemmerich took this shot Very cloudy night. In a gap in the clouds of less than 10 minutes length with some constant faint clouds in the upper atmosphere.
A less than suboptimal sky: 10 shots of 40 sec. H-Alpha 7 nm. Sony A7s uncooled. ISO 3200. Calibration (flats and darks, no bias). Hyperstar 1400. F1.9. EQ8 unguided. PixInsight processing. Date: 2014-12-03 21h. Tenerife south at 1200 m altitude.m altitude.
It's a helluvan amazing performing camera and it's in your budget. There are at least 2 IIS member who have either just received or ordered one.
Just a thought...

Thanks Andy. Have been watching developments of the A7s. It's being offered modified by JTW for 2,000 euros.

Test reports are putting it together or better than a Canon 6D which Central is also looking to offer cooled and modified.
If I was going to stay with OSC DSLR for sure worth considering - interesting to see the shots people take over the coming few months with the Sony.
