Do not hesitate to share it on Facebook, Tweeter... and to send the link to the astronomy magazines, to the photography associations, to the photographers (well known or not), etc.

Signed.
I think some Nikon models "suffered" of similar disease in the past? This was the reason why I am now in the Canon club....

Yes it did. Exactly the same issue. Marianne Oleund fixed it for Nikon and they implemented the change. She has a detailed writeup about the change but basically I think it was making the detection size of the hot pixels tighter.
Currently Sony's and past Nikons detection size was too big thus picking up some stars.
Nikon has been fixed for quite a while now. I am not sure exactly when but it must have been several years ago now.

The petition just turned 1000 signatures a few hours ago, after being only 4 days online.
Thank you all*
But the "quest" is not ending, the petition shall now be shared as widely as possible, in particular in the printed and online photography and astronomy magazines/blogs. If you know journalists or blogs editors, keep them aware !
You are also invited to ask authors of reviews of the A6000, A6300, A6500, A7 mk I and II, A7S mk I and II, A7R mk I and II and A9 to warn the reader of the Star Eater issue. For example no mention is made on the Star Eater issue in the reviews of DxoMark, Ken Rockwell, DPReview... this is misleading ! One request will not make them change their reviews, but several requests...

A rumor at SonyAlphaRumors says a firmware update may soon be online to solve the Star Eater but ... on mk II cameras only.
Why not the mk I ?
