If you point your camera to the north or south, and expose it for at least five minutes, you'll get a circular star trail. This is caused by the rotation of Earth around its axis. The longer you expose, the longer the star trail will be.
This image has been exposed for one hour. It was taken at Blue Canyon, California in 2001.
