Nikon has announced the release of its first digital single-lens reflex camera intended exclusively for astrophotography - Nikon D810A.
D810A is based on the D810 DSLR that was released in mid-July 2014, which has a 36.35MP optical low pass filterless CMOS sensor. It has h-alpha transmission improved 4 times compared with the D810. It is characterized by its ability to produce clear images of diffuse nebula because h-alpha's pink and red colors highlight the nebula's colors.
There is a Long Exposure Manual Mode that allows you to set shutter speeds ranging from 4 seconds to 900 seconds to make it easier to take long-exposure photos.
When you take non-astrophotography photos, the photo becomes red-tinged so the D810A is not recommended for regular photos.
Price: ¥420,000 Size: 146×123×81.5mm Weight: 980g including battery and SD card

For that price, include the ability to turn off the enhanced pink and red colors, so that it can also be used as a regular camera.

I'm guessing this term means the sensor does low pass h-alpha filtering in silicon, not anything you could switch off by switching out an optical filter or by changing parameters on a digital filter. But I'm not a camera buff.
