How are the exposures? Can you get the lights*and the stars at the same time with good exposures? My first impulse would be to shoot for the lights in one pass, then get a second round with good stars after the light show is over and composit both passes together in after effects using overlay or similar blending mode.

But I guess with the lights changing every 15s, that limits your exposures to less than 15s which isn't going to get you a whole lot of star detail, sooo as I said, I'd do two passes. As a friend of mine once said, it's a little lie in the spirit of the truth. :-)
