Agreed. It is not unusual for telescopes to be limited by turbulence in the atmosphere - it's what makes the stars twinkle, and it gets worse the closer to the horizon you look.

On a lovely still night that telescope will come good and provide great images at 167x with that 9mm eyepiece. Get up early and enjoy Jupiter. Often the atmosphere is more stable then too.
