In my view of this photo I think it can easily be done if you are in a dark enough spot where the stars are bright and are the brightest things in the sky with no polution from the local walmart parking lot.

It is possibly by having a Tripod, Camera and Shutter Release. You would put the camera in bulb mode and hold the shutter of your camera open for maybe a minute. If you look closely you will see the the stars are slightly blurred and moved from the rotation of the earth but not streaks like what you would have if you left the shutter open for 5-10 minutes. The image in question does have a seemingly high ISO setting but that also could easily be the quality of the camera.

Either way the goal is to allow as much light to make the stars show up but a quick enough shutter so they are not streaks in the sky. Clearly a balance you would have to play with to meet the overall goal and look you are going for.
