Here is a site listing astronomy clubs.

I think you would benefit from going to some club star parties.

Nothing wrong with renting, but at a star party you can get the experience of asking the owners questions.
And, they likely know how to collimate them correctly and can find interesting objects to view.

Good luck,
Rich
