>>661139Just so you know, that's not really what the Milky Way looks like with a long exposure, OK? Your image is clearly photoshopped with some nebula texture overlaid and vastly enlarged.
With a good set up, you can expect results more like pic related.
There are a few elements that go into this, and before that, you need to clarify what you want to do. 1) Take wide angle images, or 2) Take telephoto images. For either one, you can use a normal tripod or a tracking telescope tripod. A motorized tripod allows longer exposures, but good results can be achieved with a stationary tripod. The main pieces of gear you need to start accumulating are:
1) A modern DSLR with high ISO capability. Full frame sensors help a lot.
2) Fast lenses. For wide angle, f/1.4 is ideal, but the lens needs to be sharp with the aperture wide open, and not all fast lenses are.
3) A sturdy tripod. Either stationary or with tracking.
4) Post processing software, such as Lightroom.
All told, it will likely cost you thousands of dollars, so I'd recommend just giving up before you begin. Peace.
