When you use a blower hold the camera so that the dust can fall out, so lens mount down.

Maybe its your sensor that needs to be cleaned, not your lens.

The filter goes into the mirror box. Fits all lenses

convert to full spectrum and buy a filter set from
Clip Filter Set + Aerospace-grade Metal Case for PENTAX - STC Optics
This works well. Contains three IR + one to make it a "normal" camera again.
They also have astro filters

It will depend what you want to shoot. In winter in example the Orion is visible, however, no Milky way. So different objects have different seasons.

@Balckwing 1: I guess the same can happen to the USB port: heavy usage, plugging in and out a cable, might break it.

They may just use an old product photo. It still says "Hoya". I ordered at least two from them without any problem.

Discovering the White Balance reading after setting manually

If I am setting the "whitebalance", changing the "temp" to some K value, I can take a picture, review the picture and see the set "kelvin", in example 5000 after hitting the info button.
Is this what you look for?

I use the slide for many years, never had a problem. The loopie connectors never failed on me, but I also check them every once in a while, but I recall some issues in earlier versions:

Optimal SD Card

I would use a regular SD card, not a micro sd. other than that, any SDHC or SDXC card should do it. the SD-card slot on the pentax is probably the limiting factor. To get faster write use only JPG and turn off as many things as possible. https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Extreme-UHS-I-Memory-SDSDXXO-032G-GN4IN/dp/B0...7574301&sr=8-5

Hit the menu button. Select the playback sub menu and go to "Image rotation". Play with the corresponding options until you get the right orientation. I could manage to get one of mine up-side down as you described, depending on the appropriate settings. Good luck

I think all pentax cameras are rated for 100.000; high end even better.
