I think the operative there is "Decent" results. For a modest outlay yes, pretty handy results can be obtained.
The guys on here with big dollar rigs I would say rather than producing "decent" results are often producing astounding stuff. Even ten years ago the kind of images produced by Andy01 (As an example as we are friends) would be stuff you would expect to see coming from Hubble, not an amateur with a kit of gear that would fit in the boot of a moderately small car!
I think the kind of images I put in the OP show just how far tech has come, even the first image. Taken with a camera that about 20% of the population of the world carries in their pocket every waking moment through a scope that I picked up for under $200 secondhand and at an exposure time that would work mounted on a fixed tripod!
