At my place, I'm pretty well surrounded by fairly tall trees, which limits my view below about 20 degrees elevation, but does provide protection against strong wind at ground level.
Last night was very blowy, but calm at ground level - no detectable telescope movement. The air has been clear the last few nights, but seeing has been terrible - I have assumed that the high prevailing wind speeds have been the main problem.
