Start off maybe learning with a friend from a star party. Buddy up and learn from them. Once you have the basics mastered - rather than buy low end gear consider instead renting time on a professional level gear in Chile.
Jase tried this out a several months ago with stunning results. Strange as that may seem - its probably the cheapest and most cost effective way to progress in this field. It's a very costly hobby to start - you can easily drop $9K - $12K, whereas learning from a friend for a few weeks / months then buying time on a 20" RCOS on a PME with professional filters and a lab grade CCD might end up costing you less than $50 for professional grade shots of DSOs.
