Peter Ward has one and has posted a few images with it on the deep sky part of the site.

Basically its an EOS R with a Ha friendly filter plus it can do 30X magnified view to help with focusing (stock camera does up to 10X).

It has a factory calibrated custom white balance to reduce the excess red.

There is an Alan Dyer review of it if you google that.

Sounds good but its AUD$3999. I paid $2100 for my EOS R so its quite a premium.

If you can live without the 30X focusing aid then a regular EOS R modified would probably do similar and make your own custom white balance.

Greg.

Tony I recently purchased one of these for nightscapes and foliage capture just to add something different to day to day photography.Unfortunately it has been raining ever since.My objective is to take photos and with minimal processing be able to print A4 to A3 sized prints and put them on my shed wall. I will post some pics when the weather clears.I am also going to use the camera for everyday use and have purchased a UV IR block filter to see how this goes .I will post the results when the weather clears and probably more so over the winter Milky Way season.
