Reply to several: you have your telescope/camera on a polar mount, that is parallel to the rotation axis of the earth. Then a clockwork/motor drive that rotates the mount once every 24 hours. That way, you always point your telescoe in the same direction. This takes a high degree of precision.
You open the camera for a long-time exposure at nights, and shuts it before sun/moonrise. This way, you can accumulate exposure hours.
The Andromeda Galaxy contains 1 trillion stars and is 2.5 million light years from Earth. This was captured from my backyard with 6 hours of exposure time.
