Used my Orion Optics VX10L + APM coma-correcting 2.7x  barlow ,with a ASI120MC-S . Seeing was very good with plenty of detail visible in the raw video stream.Best 45% of 12,000 frames.

Thanks! Phil

Thanks everyone!  It seemed that everything came together really well that night. Steady air, no rising heat from nearby houses, and a cool telescope with good tracking :)
Due to the 2 minutes (or less) imaging time i didn't derotate in Winjupos. in fact i always try to do 2 minutes max for that reason! the APM barlow is amazing. I would say at least as good as the green-lettered ones with the added bonus for newts of coma correction (even though the OO VX10L  is virtually coma-free, the barlow certainly didn't introduce any artifacts) 
thanks again,Phil

@ Nick: around 110 seconds with the fps displaying about 110 frames per second average.The imaging box set on 512 x 440. I operate the cam using the latest Firecapture ,with the USB3 throughput turned down a bit to avoid the occasional lock-ups. 
Cheers,Phil
