Good fit. In the Celestron Astro Fi 102 the Tele Vue 10mm Delos gives 132x with a 0.54 degree true field and a 0.8 mm exit pupil, inside the telescope's useful range.
Magnification is the telescope focal length divided by the eyepiece focal length: 1325 mm divided by 10 mm is 132x. The true field of view is the eyepiece's 72 degree apparent field divided by that magnification, 0.54 degrees.
The exit pupil, the width of the light beam leaving the eyepiece, is the aperture divided by the magnification, 102 mm over 132x, which is 0.8 mm. That makes this a high-power lunar, planetary and double-star setting.
