Grey spoke about the prototype under the DIY section but they now have a product specifically for astrophotography.
The TinyMOS Tiny1 was developed by NUS students.

Re: Singapore startup TinyMOS introduces the Tiny1 Camera
I wonder what is cost to mass manufacture the kind of metal boxes (with no leake of light), frames like below for this camera and the lens?

Re: Singapore startup TinyMOS introduces the Tiny1 Camera
hey guys, sorry I didn't see these posts until now.
The aluminium case is pretty expensive to make in low volumes but is not too bad at quantity. However, it will still be about 100x more expensive than injection molding the parts out of engineering plastics. We chose aluminium to heat sink the sensor, processor and battery, for cleaner images. (It will also be easier for modders. but you didn't hear that from me )
The frames you see are from an older iteration. It's 3D printed with carbon reinforced PLA, based on a 2 part design. We reworked the whole case to a monobody for better durability and a sleeker outline.
