Results look pretty good.
For a large stack of images you might want to try a divide and conquer approach to save some time.
For a stack of 100 images.
 - First align every 10th image.
 - Then align the ten stacks keeping the end points anchored.

For even larger stacks take the cube-route. But might need a python script to automate the process.

I have nearly finished the project, there are some minor bumps left as I was not aware that the ships on the left side also move. The result can be seen here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/j97egbagvy6kiwh/lake_zurich_timelapse.mp4
There is still some more de-birding to do, and of course a soundtrack and so 
on...

But a time lapse video can be aligned with hugin.
Workflow (best do most of it on the command line):

  * Deflicker raw image stack with LRTimeLapse or similar
  * crop what your really really never will need away
  * render jpegs with some oversize in Lightroom
  * pto_gen to generate a file that contains all jpegs
  * cpfind --celeste --linearmatch
  * delete all CP's that are not in a designate area (script)
  * check if all images are connected (GUI)
  * run optimizer in GUI or autooptimizer (took only... a day or a half)
  * Hope for god results
  * delete CP's that are way off
      o the CP list is your friend!
      o sort by distance
      o select all "bad" CP's ie CP's that are on a moving object
      o whether you delete a single CP or many, the delay is approx. the same.
  * reoptimze (took only 6.5hr)
  * output the now aligned image stack
  * ready for the video app

I wasted only some 2 days of computing time, but the final product is quite OK and the next will be better ;)
