I was very interested in the Z50's red response that you mentioned as I was not aware of this. If it is not too much trouble I would appreciate you posting links to the images/videos you mentioned
I almost certainly will stick with the APSC format as the travel use/weight is every bit as important as minimizing noise. I know from my D7000 that I simply won't use a camera that is too heavy!!

Hi Gary,
In the following video by Steven Morris, "Astrophotography Nikon Z50 Deep Space" you will see the Z50 used on a Celestron RASA 8 with I believe a Celestron light pollution filter, which does alter colour rendition somewhat, but hopefully you will still see from ~5:00 min mark onwards that the image retains good star colour with good Hydrogen Alpha response for an unmodified camera.

Another one of Steven's videos using the Nikon Z50 compares a moon image taken with a Nikon 200-500mm Zoom Lens compared with the Z50 on a Celestron RASA 8inch scope with final images from ~11 minutes onward, here ...

Great videos with plenty of detail at 1080P, of course 4K would better.
There are various Nikon Z50 images on Astrobin see these....
A couple of images...
