This could be a place where autoimage is not smart enough to figure out
that it is the gold-nanoparticle part that you want to keep "together".
Did you try "image "WAT"? If the gold nanoparticle is not moving, only
the waters should be imaged, which sounds like what you want.

Another option would be to use autoimage with the anchor mask set to the
gold nanoparticle. (I don't think the "fixed" option is what you want
here.)

missing something.
