Thank You Bill.

Tips & Pointers.

1) Setup camera on a very steady tripod, setup at dusk and observe the changing lights into darkness of the sky background.(preferred)
1.1) I did it when the sky is already dark as I am familiar with the lighting conditions.
2) Sigma Lens 24-70mm, f22, iso100, 5 to 20 secs shots.
3) Multiple image stacking in photoshop.
3.1) using layers, select lighten option, opacity 50%, fill 100%.
3.2) you may select color option to enhance color without working on the lights and shadows.
4) edit and remove layers till you find the best details in the final work.

There is an imperfection on this piece of work on the bottom right, a laser show was in progress when the shots are taken and a bit of lens flare due to a speck of dust on my lens. :(.

Location: Singapore, Marina Bay Sands, on the bridge of Fullerton One Hotel, on Nicole Highway.
Laser show starts 8pm & 8.30pm daily, whole show last 10-15mins.
