Dose that sound roughly about right?
Almost - for planetary you need to filter out the IR (so the opposite of the mod you just did ) otherwise the planets will look too red.

You also need to capture the planets in Liveview 5x zoom mode using some dedicated software like Backyard EOS (like I did). The website below shows more information about the process, fortunately BYEOS has a dedicated planetary mode to assist. It's not free, but it is cheap (and can be used for DSO capture also).

The best focal ratio to capture the planets is 5x the pixel size of the camera - so you will need a Barlow to get you to about f/20.
