The best part about the second one is that it shows the idea behind the north star...it's the one that doesn't move and everything else rotates around it.
I learned that last summer when my brother was taking some hour+ exposure shots of the stars.
I wonder if you could hack an IR remote and hook it up to a computer to do this? Because basically you need to take dozens or hundreds of exposures all the same length, all evenly spaced out. 15 second exposure every 10 minutes or something like that.
Or use the remote with a clock probably if you are patient.

I can't find the N star or the dipper in the images. Where is it in relation (O'clock) to the tip of the house?
That and the timed exposure means a lot more stars are visible, where usually with the naked eye there isn't that many stars visible so seeing the pattern is much more difficult, add into that that most of the little dipper's stars aren't that bright.
