Rental scopes are not cheating, however i dont think data acquired through a rental setup should be allowed to be entered into imaging competitions... If you didnt set up the mount, get it aligned, get the scope collimated, work out any issues like field curvature, guiding problems, focus etc, then you should not be able to win awards for the quality of image the setup achieved.. I personally would love to use one of the GRAS scopes or one of the Lightbuckets scopes one day to capture an image that my gear would not be capable of...
