If you want a full circle, then it'll need to be an all-night shot. The closer you point to the SCP, the more round the trails will be.

Check out my gallery for a bunch of different star trail shots:

Star Trail Gallery

As Gary said, download the StarTrails application. It takes your jpegs or tifs and combines them to create the star trail picture, and can also create an avi movie.

Very easy to use.

Make sure you keep the interval between shots as short as possible (no more than 1-2 seconds), or you'll get gaps in your trails.

Good luck!
