Have been getting crappy views this last week or so.
Sounds like you're getting the usual Melbourne seeing

Stars were scintillating quite severely last night, I was going to take the 10" dob out for a look at Mars and Saturn but decided seeing was probably poor, and your impressions confirm that.

Forecast not looking very promising.
