Hope you don't mind but I had a quick play in Rawtherapee to try Local Adjustments on your pic, I'm sure a better one could be produced by others though..
Yeah, it does over power the stars......doh.

I used an old Cokin Filter Grad G2 approx. 40 year old at least, which probably accounts for the slight vignet I got, that and an old UV filter too.
Tav program and 125th sec with F8 gave ISO 100 to 160 I think. K1 mkII hand held.

Taken with K1 mkII and DA* 11-18mm f3.2 ISO 400. I had pests again with people in the car park below with their car lights!
In one picture I cropped out the red light pollution but left in a glow over the water as I quite liked the effect.

1. Red glow.



2. I have a 'straightened angle' version but I like the angled tower.....

4. Playing with lightening the sea.......
