Max mag for moon in ED80

I've just been enjoying some great views of the moon.

I've been using my 9mm GSO plossl with 3x barlow in my ED80 for 200x magnification. At that mag, the image shimmers a bit, but it feels like I could push it further and still see more detail.

What is a typical upper limit of magnification for use on the moon for an ED80 scope?
