orion nebula

When observing the Orion. Nebula, I have a difficult time with photographing because of my laditide (26.08N x 97.57W). The stars change their relative position. What do I have to do...(?) weight the camera mount so it stays in the same position relative to my observatory floor? How do others compensate!?

I have several images that, when combined, start to bring out the fainter stars ...if only I could keep each star in the same relative position, photo to photo.

I am using a universal mount, and Nikon.

Thanks for any help!
