galvanised steel duct is very cheap and readily available at ventilation suppliers.
But you do need to reinforce around the focuser for an astrograph to prevent local flexing of the tube due to the bending moment of the focuser and camera. I'm in the process of doing so to my homemade dob/newtonian because I do spectroscopy so the load on the focuser is a lot more than a camera.
