Apparently the poor seeing is caused by large amounts of moisture/water vapour in the atmosphere this record crap summer, so I've heard, it seems believable considering that in other summers I've gotten much better viewing. Had one excellent night in November, where I could get a decently crisp Uranus at 534x, Same night I had Jupiter at just over 300x, but that was it. The rest has been custard and custarder.
Last time I was viewing Saturn at 167x, no crisp resolution at all. The planet seemed a bit fuzzy, the focus lacked that razor sharp snap that any half decent seeing would yield at this lowish power.
