That will be an interesting challenge, given the fact that an object suspended on a buoy is in motion itself due to tidal and weather forces. I'd think you could make it work, though, IAOI you can keep the camera view filled with nothing but water. Unless the water movement itself is turbulent to the point that it contains bubbles, motion won't know it is moving with the property sensitivity adjustments. By the way, when people get around to giving you serious technical help, I do hope that they blackmail you into putting your Motion output on-line....in a most genteel fashion, of course. That would beat the heck out of my "aquarium" screen saver.
