Yep. So that is what the NEQ6 is. It's an equatorial mount that tracks the sky , well , when set up properly anyways :) . Without tracking the sky , you are limited to about a 30sec shot before the stars start trailing in the picture , depending on what magnification you are at. The higher the magnification , the more accurate the tracking needs to be.
I mostly take about 1 to 2 minute exposures when i am using a telescope and sometimes up to 5 minutes with just the camera if the mount is set up good. Some people also use auto-guiding to take astro photos , which is a separate camera and computer to correct any errors in the tracking while taking an exposure. Or manual guiding , which is the same , except you are correcting the tracking errors instead of a computer. I haven't tried either of those just yet.

thank you for this guiding :)
You're welcome. :)
