Local weather is not necessarily the limiting factor in seeing. But what I was trying to get across was the myriad of factors involved, not just one thing. Nevertheless, you may have a lemon.

Seriously, though, have you collimated recently? And how long is "plenty" when cooling? It matters - e.g. one hour isn't enough.

Another afterthought: If you're mostly a visual observer, and particularly if you're casual or time-poor, then a Dob may be a better choice of scope regardless.
