I have a Nikon 1 j1 with a 30-110mm lens and i am trying to get some good shots of lightening or star trails at night. Is there a better lens for long exposure photography?

It's not down to the lens. Any lens would do.
Long exposures depend on you using a slow shutter speed. Like several seconds or more. And shutter speed has virtually nothing to do with the lens you stick on the end of the camera.
Photographing star trails with a digital camera is a bit more involved. Usually these are made by taking multiple exposures and stacking them using some stacking software like this: http://www.startrails.de/html/software.html - which is free.

... There are things to love about the Nikon 1 series and sadly also things to dislike. The problem is that is not a cheap system. The lenses for the 1 are not cheap, the camera itself is decently priced..we're not some issues See the sensor is rather small for that price. Look what people don't want a DSLR but want something with controls and interchangable lenses that is what they want.. the Nikon 1 fails here. The Nikon 1 targets soccermoms, it lacks the controls the pro's seek. Sure it is a fast shooter with pretty decent image quality and...sadly overpriced lenses.. but it isn't something a person who likes to have control wants to use. The issue is control it simply doesn't offers the needed controls. And that is a huge problem.. most cameras CSC/EVIL's are made for the DSLR owner that wants a decent second camera. Some EVIL's are even good enough for people to replace the idea of a DSLR outfit. But the Nikon 1 isn't one of them. Nikon 1 tries to simplify things.. make it easy..for the soccermom. I am not a soccermom! But if you want a decent camera system in that price range.. thing Panasonic GF3 with a decent pancake lens. Very capable camera system MFT"s. You also can buy the Sony NEX, bigger sensor sadly also bigger lenses but .. it is very good at what it does. There is the Fuji X Pro ..a bit expensive so.. very good though Now I suggest that Panasonic GF3, you get quite good results and all the basic controls you need. It is system able to make some lovely pictures. It has a sensor big enough to mean something and it has very nice image quality. Also look at the Samsung NX series, again Micro Fourth Third. You can buy extra lenses for that system and it has some very good results.

The lens is irrelevant in long exposures. What is relevant is the need for a tripod.
