You need a panoramic head like this:

It allows to rotate a lens around a "no-paralax point" and has a click-stop rotator which is very useful at night.
With 10.5mm lens on a full frame body I do four shots in portrait orientation at 15 degrees angle looking up (on a D300 you will need 6 shots). Then I use PTGui and stitch the 360 spherical panorama, which is a bit tricky with night time shots and I sometimes have to use manual control points on the stars. I then convert to Flash in Pano2VR.
There are a few good online resources on panoramic images, I found this one a good start:

If you get to doing those and have any questions just give me a shout and I will be happy to assist.
Cheers,
