Thanks for the responses. I guess this would make sense, as the last few nights when viewing to the south, the moon has been right behind me to the north. It also has been a little windy.(WA, Perth current conditions)

For instance, looking at the Jewel Box, the 25mm looked crisp, but when switching to the 10mm, it became a little blurrier than I expected.
I suspect the glare from the almost full moon would also contribute to not so good 'seeing' with high mag ?

Are there any good guides to expecting what are good seeing conditions, in respect to eyepieces, aperture, weather, etc.

I guess the best bet would be to search the forums (will do this when I get home from work).
