Years ago, when I was first getting into astronomy, I wanted to get into AP. It seems like yes, you could get in cheap, but for the most rewarding views, you were probably going to end up spending $1500

There are several sites around the 'Net for AP on a budget

A decent post at Cloudy nights, the Pelican Parts forum of the Astronomy world.
