Sorry, I thought you meant the superficial question.

IIRC to take a photo of the stars your camera must be mounted on a fancy rotating head that keeps the lens pointed at a constant azimuth and right ascension and with respect to the latitude. The rotation of the Earth will blur the stars unless compensated.
