Um .... you don't need to spend a lot of money to do astrophotography, there are still good 35mm and medium format manual cameras out there to be had that do a wonderful job as astrocameras.
BW and colour print film is as cheap as chips , and it's pretty cheap to have the film processed and printed too.
Check out your local pawn broker , I often do , not to buy , unless I spot something handy that's in great nik that's a bargain , good cameras and lenses can be had for a fraction of the cost of new .
A good GEM is a must.
Get a 2" crayford , a 2" LPF , a BAADER MFCC camera kit and a T-ring to suit your camera and shutter cable release and you are then ready to rock and roll with some prime focus and piggy back imaging.
You can easily keep your costs well under $2k.
