Welcome motorhead9999.
You'll find we are in general a little pleased with our brand these days and for your landscape and astro, you really would be hard pressed to find a better performer than the K-1 paired with OEM and 3rd party glass choices. All of my fellow landscapers are nikon or canon shooters and sometimes i feel sorry for them missing out on some of our innovative features and quality. I'm not gonna let on of course, lol.
In general, where Pentax tends to trail slightly behind the competition is video, fast AF tracking, and flash sync speed; none of those metrics pertain to landscape and astrophotography, luckily. Besides that, the overall image quality including pixel shift functionality, weather and rugged build, astrotracer, tilt screens, sensor shifting(for shift lens effect), compatibility with ancient glass, and price point, all score a win in favor of Pentax.
Good luck shopping and feel free to ask plenty of questions!

I primarily use the 645Z for my landscape work and the APS-C K3II for wildlife, sports, event, long tele. I find it very capable and up until recently was using it exclusively for my astro work, until I actually tried the 645Z and find it able to hold it's own, despite the absence of GPS/astrotracing nor a fast wide glass option.
