Hi, Peter. Good question. The sensors are designed to handle that option. Although on principle I would not recommend pointing a camera into direct light in one spot on live view for hours at a time, the amount of time that you would typically need to take some photos should be no problem.

They are available in square format or as a screw-in circular filter. I have tried a few of them. Although they work really well with longer focal lengths, I was disappointed using wide-angle and ultra-wide-angle lenses used for landscape astrophotography. The pattern was too small and too faint for any of them to be useful for my 2.8/14-24 lens.You can start with a trip you a good old fashioned hardware store and buy different small samples of fine wire mesh screen materials. I’d recommend testing various types to see what works best. If’s it’s really fine it will act more like a softener, if’s it’s too coarse it won’t work as a star effect. You can get “official” and mount the material in a can you can shoot through or on a spare lens hood or just use tape to hold it over the lens. That said the fun is in the experimentation!
