The calculator is suited for deepsky imaging where your typical seeing seats at ~2". With planetary regardless of your camera pixel size you're after much smaller details and you're using very long FLs. So you want a camera that is sensitive enough to give you a high frame rate and good SNR in low light. You want to capture the maximum number of frames within a set time period. That's the name of the game.
