Hi Josh,
If you're really interested in trying astronomy, my humble advice would be to save for your car and then drive the hour and a bit to attend the Astronomical Society you speak of.
I recently joined one and it's the BEST way to work out what you want.
Astro Societies usually have public viewing nights, sections for beginners,
loan telescopes and people who will fall over themselves to help you.
You can check out all the different telescopes people have and seeing you'll already have your car, you can save for a scope while you're learning.
In my astro society there are people who travel from way up victoria to attend meetings in Melbourne.
Hope this helps,
Molly.
