Well yes, but the water mirrors the clouds, so that's ~80%? of the image which is different in each exposure in the stack, the water and clouds suffer just as much from noise as the land mass. A lot of the effect is lost because of the long (8 second) exposure, even ramping the ISO up to an acceptable level would still mean something like 1 second, while that would be better, the movement in 1 second will still kill the sharp reflections which are visible to the human eye. What is needed is less wind! Like it was a month ago... Zero wind and zero clouds.

I have been narrowing the candidates down from 54 to half a dozen or so, this morning and I think I missed the best one by far. will have a go at it this evening if I get time.

I have noticed a fringe or band on the junction between the sky and the left hand mountain, not sure if it's camera movement or some sort of an 'artefact effect' a form of CA?

This is a 1:1 pixel zoom screen grab from Lr.

By way of some sort of control, this is another grab from the same image.

The second grab seems to discount camera shake, the houses and shore line are clearly defined with no secondary edge.
