Do you like widefield or deep sky objects? The type of astrophotography will dictate what gear you buy, at first. And as raymo has mentioned the mount is the mainstay.

Mounts come in several varieties, with varying degrees of automation. The basics of a good mount are sturdiness, capacity and low periodic error (PE). If you can find these qualities in a mount for a reasonable price you are doing well.
