I enjoyed reading this; a blog post by Astronaut Don Pettit on how to do star trail images from space!

Obviously he has never been south of the equator to look at stars.
Normally, these star trails are created as the Earth rotates on its axis, with the center being close to either Polaris, the north star, or the Southern Cross, depending on which hemisphere you are in.
Nice images though
