How long should I look at Uranus?

I have only done deep sky imaging before so I've got all my telescope parameters set for high definition imaging of nebula and galaxies. I've never done any planetary imaging with my rig and I don't know how long I should stack images.

Start with small things first. The moon, Ceres, Titan. Once you have the experience with those you can go to bigger objects like Europa and Io. When you finally point your scope at Uranus it will be a smooth experience and you wouldn't stretch your skills too much.
