Convert K-1 to Astrograph?

DXO shows the K-1 to have better low light capability than much more expensive, top of the line Canon pro-sumer and pro models (5D Mk IV, 6D Mk II, 1D X Mk II, EOS R).

Has anyone explored the conversion of a K-1 to a dedicated astrogrpah (e.g., remove IR filter, add H-Aplha filter)?

How difficult is this considering the weather sealing, etc.?

How much is weight an issue for this application?

Regards,
Robert in Busan
