It also has a lot to do with your local topography as well as the prevailing weather conditions. If you are at sea level near the sea with nearby mountain ranges/escarpments you will often experience poor seeing, due to the turbulence created by the escarpments. Just ask Rod Berry (Rodstar) how often he gets sub arc second seeing at his house at Point Clare with the mountains of Brisbane Water National park right behind him. Answer = NEVER.
