Just recall that the flash and ambient exposures are separate. If the
ambient exposure is a long one there's no reason why you can't make them
at different apertures. Experiment with the flash exposure at the same
ISO you intend to use for the ambient. Play with the aperture for the
flash till you get it to your liking. Then put the two together adding
the ambient after the flash and at a different aperture if desired.

I'm looking forward to trying this in the fall.
yes. This is something I'd like to try as well. That, and some
more deep-sky stacked stuff.
I've been looking at the skyscape/landscape images in "Celestial
Nights", and there is one in particular where the foreground is a
hillside populated with cactus, rocks, etc and the background is a
dazzling star-studded sky. There are many places I know of where
similar photos can be taken, and I'm wondering about controlling the
foreground illumination. Seems it should be done on a moonless night
using a small fill flash for the foreground. That's going to take
some experimentation.
