From memory you get the tight/closed circle effect if you point the lens north or south.

The problem is finding a direction with minimal light pollution. At least around here. Guess I could drive to Wyoming.

Are you using a wide angle lens?
Reason I ask is these were my best star trails, but they seem too close.
I may have been pointing straight up for those. I guess that could be part of it, but again, I was trying to avoid light pollution.
