I don't know if I made a mistake and the above is only for
celestial(orbiting)planes vs observation.

Therefore perhaps the word "aberration" should be skipped and instead
wouldn't a doppler effect on light (frequency spectrum shift) also
affect the calculations on the speed of light and the calculations on
Time (say the Twin Paradox for example)?

Meaning depending on the direction of the observation on light through
an intensed doppler effect the light would no longer be observed as
light (although it speed remains constant) but instead as perhaps a
sound wave (if moving away from observer) or alpha wave (if moving
towards observer)?

Would these affect the calculations on Einstein's Relavitiy (Time and
c)?

In short, no.
See for example Einstein in 1905 on Doppler:
