I've been out in very poor seeing conditions, and it is just miserable. I was only doing wide angle and not using a scope, but the sky was so turbulent that I couldn't get proper focus. For those of us in the northern hemisphere, the best time for imaging the center of the milky way lines up with summer. Summer is just horrible seeing conditions in my area with >100° temps deep into the night with high humidity levels. Every now and then a new moon lines up with a nice thunderstorm which clears out the air and brings down the temps. Anyone want to take bets on the over/under of how often that happens?!
