I'd experiment wiht hand-held shots. I do all of my stereograms either hand-held or on tripod. Hardest thing hand held is to not rotate camera. I place one corner of the frame on a recognizable point, shoot, move over, reposition corner to the same point, shoot again, the distance you move is not that important, I try to shift about a foot or so.
The red/cyan viewing IMHO does not produce as nice an effect as "cross-eyed viewing", although many folks have trouble viewing stereograms this way. With proctice though it comes pretty easily, and the reward is a truly awesome view.
In short, you really don't need to spend a cent to do great stereograms.
