I think you hinted at possibly using film rather than digital camera gear. Why not? If you have the means to do so. But digital is probably less expensive in the long run when you consider the cost of special film, developing and so forth.
Why not start with a WebCam and get some practice doing planetary and lunar shots - usually short exposure and possible without guiding. From there you will almost certainly want to graduate to more sophisticated gear but of course by then it will be too late; you'll be thoproughly hooked and happy to mortgage the house again to buy the next bit of kit.
