Great start and worthy of revisiting. The IS thing can go either way and
Canon may be in the leave on all the time for longer lenses but I would
try it w/o. Next time stay there until it gets really dark; these
cameras have the eyes of an owl. Mirror lock-up to limit vibration
might make a difference but I have never tried it. Perfection is
illusive in night photography. Enough platitudes to keep you going back,
I hope.

Okay, I took a stab at night photography of the local oil refinery.
I used a tripod, remote, 2 second timer setting, shot in manual, ISO 100,
f/11, and 1/4 a second (lower than that I wasn't getting enough light).
And I found my best results were right before it got really dark. But they
came out not very sharp (although I used a good lens). As I drove away I
realized I forgot to turn off the lens IS (I used a Canon). So I guess I
have to try again with it off and see if I do better.

Any suggestions about what different f stops, etc. to use for a better
result, please feel free to let me know.
