This answer depends on the location of the camera taking the picture. If the camera is on the ground, then the exposure would come out clearer if the camera was not mounted on a system that could automatically move the lens. If the camera was in LEO (Low Earth Orbit) it wouldn't matter if the earth was rotating.

How would a three hour time exposure photograph of Star in the norther sky appear if the earth didn't rotate?

If the Earth didn't rotate, then the camera would stay where you pointed it, and a three hour exposure would look just like a 1/60 second exposure except that everything would be a lot brighter.The fact that the Earth does rotate is a problem in astrophotography. To get long exposures, it's necessary to mount the telescope on a motorized base turning in the opposite direction to counteract the rotation of the Earth and keep the camera pointed at the same star for the entire length of the exposure ... if you don't, you get "trails" as the stars move across the camera's field of view. (Though really it's the camera that's doing most of the moving ... the stars are moving, but they're so far away that it takes a lot more than three hours for them to move noticeably.)
