Taking a shot of the stars is too much time consuming process. An image needs at least a 30 sec exposure. Since the stars are barely seen through the view finder, before the actual shot, you need to take a trial shot to make sure if you've got the right settings such as focal length, exposure time, white balance and etc. It's not hard to learn the technique to take a shot of stars. But the tech doesn't guarantee getting the right image we want to get. 
The most important matter in the star photography is whether or not we can have a good weather; no clouds, no mood light and no artifical lights. The image above was taken even under the difficult condition. There were the strong artificial lights from the city when taking the image above. I could see only a few stars at that night. I only got some stars in it. We, therefore, need to go to a remote place to avoid the troublesome light. Stars themselves don't make the image special. What makes it special is how you put things together in the frame. It's all about the composition. To get people's attention, we need to find something interesting and carefully locate it in the image.
Are you ready to give up sleeing? What you get is an outcome from what you give up. You should get out and take a real shot at night when others are sleeping.
Good Luck!! Everyone!!
