Hi,
I think the cheapest astrophotography is planet, solar and lunar astrophotography. Use a webcam (you need to bring a computer along) or using a digital camera via afocal method, but you need to have a telescope setup first. Also, because you only use short exposure, you don't need a very good mount and a decent telescope will do the job.
Anyway, I think you may be able to get the whole setup with S$2k if you get used equipment.
Have a nice day.

Hi,
Why not consider Matthew's Peltier Cooled CCD Camera which is for sale for 750$
