Things are looking up, no pun inteended.
As i need to be up early tomorrow i thought i would spend a couple hours on the balcony.
As suggested i had the balcony door closed all the time and 2 hours before going out, also cooled scope for 1 1/2 hours.
Again as suggested i checked SkippySky earlier today and conditions looked reasonable.
Anyway unlike the last few evenings the moon looked great in both my 9 and 6mm, lovely views and so much detail, im very happy as i really thought that at X 250 the moon would be a blurr, but not at all, great detail.
Jupiter was much better in my 9mm than previously, only had brief looks due to clouds all over the place, and it was less blurry and i saw a little more detail, ie the bands were not just straight bands but showed a little shape.
I just came in to have dinner but will be out soon for another hour, may even try mars if the clouds move on.
Ian
P.S
thanks all for your suggestions which have been of assistance.
