Rereading my post, I am still waiting on that Newtonian - so my ordinary camera was used.
I wonder: are there astrophotographers who use static tripods and image stacking (even with smaller field of view) and solely rely on high sensitivity cameras?

Ahah! Welcome young padawan to the dark side of the force ...
As Raymo says 'every method known to man' is used. I took an ISO 800 @ 10 second exposure of the recent lunar eclipse through fast moving clouds and as the camera blurred the clouds captured detail through the hazy stuff.
Most dedicated astro cameras are very sensitive, my DSLR has some stupid ISO settings but there are other factors involved with capturing those elusive photons as you will soon find out,

In the meantime, welcome once again and start reading, learning and asking questions. Plenty of help available from the people on here and we're all house trained and friendly. ( well most are
