How did you get each frame to precisely overlay on the previous frame? Your earlier comments suggest that you did not use any electronic tracking.

No, they were aligned in post.

Wow, that must have been tedious, but I am really impressed. A company called Orion has a relatively cheap ($200?) equatorial mount available to synchronize with the sidereal rotation of the earth for clicking astrophotography. Your only job is to align the motor's axis to be parallel with the earth's axis (hint: the North Star, Polaris.)

I've looked into those, but I don't do enough of this to make it worth the price. It wasn't that tedious, as it was a series of stills and not a video.

At 2:12 I'm actually able to grasp how big Earth is compared to the Moon. Absolutely stunning.

Even the ancient Greeks saw that. They knew the ratio of the size of the Earth to the size of the Moon. I wrote about that in my blog, and made a composite of that image I took and the full Earth shot from the Apollo missions. Check it out!
