There's generally a difference between telescopes used for visual use and astrophotography.

Nothing crazy actually, however it is much easier to capture if using a tracking mount which follows the movement of the night sky, allowing for longer exposures.

It's a combination of all 3600 pictures assembled together using a method called rejection stacking in order to reduce noise.
