That would only require about 5000 luminance subs taken with my 105mm guide scope equipped with tiny ICX-814 when pointing at NGC4945

Now, with the same 105mm guide scope and KAF 16803 we would only require about 460 10-minute subs to capture a trillion photons. But since M&T are not using a guide scope but a proper telescope to collect space photons, it could only take one night to collect a trillion photons from a bright DSO. Unless my maths is wrong
