Exposure times for DSI II

Hi everyone,
I am about to have my first session with my DSI II Pro and was wondering if anyone can advise me on the best exposure times to use. I am using a LX200R 12" in Alt/Az mode and the camera also has a f/3.3 FR. I know that the times have to be kept to a minimum and the general train of thought seems to under 30 seconds per exposure with the average being between 8-15 seconds.
Do these estimates fit with other members findings/experiences, I know the first few sessions will be mainly experimentation but I would like to know if I am in the right area

Thanks in advance

PS. I also noticed the abreviation LOL attached to a lot of messages and being new to all this I cant work out what it means, I know its going to be totally obvious when I read it so apologies in advance for the question
