planetary imaging woes

i am trying to improve my planetary imaging with Jupiter out in full force in recent times. the only problem is that i cant seem to get a decent image. i record video on my QHY5Lii and then stack it in registax, i have tried both my 2x and 5X televue barlows/powermates to try and get more detail while using my BT 250 newt on an NEQ6 mount. but no matter how hard i try i cant get a really clear image. looking through the data i see that the atmosphere is jumping around between every frame (taken at the highest practical frame rate). is it just really rare to get good seeing conditions? or is the fact that i am taking it from Sydney going to mean that i will never get decent seeing conditions, i.e. do cities significantly disrupt the seeing conditions?
