Reply to comment by KillasArt in Artemis 1 at its furthest point in its moon orbit, about 268,000 miles from earth. by kjpmi

We see stars with our eyes, but they are relatively dim. In order to see stars with a camera, you need to let the sensor expose for a long time, no matter how high up you are. The consequence of a long exposure is that brighter objects, like the Moon, Earth, and the spacecraft would be overexposed bright blobs.

You can test this with a camera here on Earth.
