Advanced - Stars' traces around the circumpolar.
EDIT: I've created the chatroom #Phototalks (http://chat.deviantart.com/chat/Phototalks) to talk about photography tips, tricks, doubts, and all these things. Also some general talking is allowed. I'll probably be there if you join.

Okay so, this complicates a little bit. Because of the Earth's rotation, when we put a long exposure time all the stars appear moving, excepting one: the Polaris (the circumpolar star), and, in the picture, the traces of the rest of the stars will turn around this Polaris star. The objective,then, will be getting results like these: http://marioguti.deviantart.com/art/

Advanced - Catching the stars stood.
Well, I've classified this as advanced because it includes some mathematical equation, but it's quite simple. With this you can get results like these: http://marioguti.deviantart.com/art/Exploring-in-the-night-318831781?q=gallery%3Amarioguti%2F33821496&qo=93 http://marioguti.deviantart.com/art/Lights-on-the-other-side-324127837?q=gallery%3Amarioguti%2F33821496&qo=58
You'll need: a DSLR camera, a tripod, and a remote control (well, or you can set delay trigger, the goal of this is not moving the camera when we push the button)
Okay so, you'll need to set the aperture value to the lowest possible, and a long exposure time but...how long? if
OK so iv started playing about with my camera and i wanted somewhere to put the pics so I though what better place than here
had my cam about a year but only just started going out and looking to take pics
