Talking to Damian Peach the other day, he mentioned something that's obvious in hindsight but I hadn't thought of before - islands are normally places of good seeing because the thermal profile is dominated by the surrounding water. Tassie is an island, albeit a bit on the large side, but I'd guess that's why you're getting some good seeing.

On the other hand, I'm getting nothing but fuzzy blobs up here at the moment, tried again last night but no good. Seeing would have been 1/10 at best. It was just possible to see the equatorial belts.
