Good fit. In the Sky-Watcher Evostar 100ED the Tele Vue 10mm Delos gives 90x with a 0.8 degree true field and a 1.1 mm exit pupil, inside the telescope's useful range.

Magnification is the telescope focal length divided by the eyepiece focal length: 900 mm divided by 10 mm is 90x. The true field of view is the eyepiece's 72 degree apparent field divided by that magnification, 0.8 degrees.

The exit pupil, the width of the light beam leaving the eyepiece, is the aperture divided by the magnification, 100 mm over 90x, which is 1.1 mm. That makes this a high-power lunar, planetary and double-star setting.
