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.

Yeah. You have to remember to turn stabilization off while shooting on
the tripod. One way to get enough light is to stack a bunch of shorter
exposures.
Most of the on-line information I found for "image stacking" is divided
into two camps - image stacking for astrophotography & focus stacking
for macro.
I think some of the techniques used in astrophotography for creating
"non-trailed fixed-position star images" might do what you want to do
for your refinery.
