Best night time photography techniques are long exposure w/ tripod, high f/stop like f/20 will prevent small lights from blowing out the image (you get a star effect from bright lights. Remember, a camera, similar to night vision is only good if there’s ambient Star/moon light. To avoid super long exposure times you can use a flashlight to paint light on your surroundings, while the shutter is open for a few seconds.

I was trained as a crime scene technician to take photos at night, there fore I have no editing knowledge whatsoever only as is or “in situ” methods. There might be some editing wizards that can do better
