I use an old asi120mm with a raspberry pi. Not that difficult to set up. An acrylic dome from amazon and short bits of sewage pipes and ends for the enclosure.

I have built three and the lesson I have learnt is that the lens is everything if you want good results i.e. capture more than just the very brightest.

Much will depend on your DIY and computing skills so give it a go as you can always upgrade later on as you gain experience

The AllSky6 fireball sky camera device looks pretty neat and retails for $700. Might be worth a look...
