Sounds like fun. These are very easy to do with the D800E with its built in time lapse function. But assembling a series of RAW images into a time lapse should not be too hard (famous last words perhaps!).

I have always wanted to see the rotation of the Earth in this way!
On a more serious note, this sort of thing, illustrating how the sky/earth moves, can have a real educational value.

It can be hard for people to get their mind and imagination around the idea of the earth moving instead of the sky moving, despite the fact that we as a species have known this intellectually for a long time; this is a very good illustrative tool that shows the effect intuitively and dramatically.
Some of these skyscapes can be very useful for giving people an intuitive feel for what is going on in the universe.

Yes the rotation of the Earth is made very clear by this type of imaging.
