Such is life.
The best I have ever measured in Melbourne is 2.2 arc seconds.
Many nights it's as bad as 6 or more arc seconds.
If the stars are twinkling - I don't set up my telescope equipment.

It can also change drastically over the night -
it can start off at 4 arc seconds at 9pm & be down to 2.5 arc seconds by 1 am.
Often it's the best at about 1 to 4 am in the morning.
