You'd have to use a long exposure, right?
If it were film, I'd say a fully open aperture, long exposure, and a high ISO film? I'm not sure on the ISO part, just guessing a finer-grain film will look better with wide aperture and long exposure, and also more sensitive to light (as you can tell, I'm no photographer).
It does look a little bright, intense and saturated compared to what night looks like to the human eye. We lose the yellow spectrum, so browns in the ground are "right out".
I guess the thing to do in processing is temper the yellows and saturation?
Yes, fully open aperture, long exposure (6"), and high ISO. I tried to recover the yellows that were (much) more apparent to the naked eye, and this made it look more saturated
