Fits

Good fit. In the Sky-Watcher Skymax 127 the Tele Vue 14mm Delos gives 110x with a 0.65 degree true field and a 1.2 mm exit pupil, inside the telescope's useful range.

Magnification is the telescope focal length divided by the eyepiece focal length: 1540 mm divided by 14 mm is 110x. The true field of view is the eyepiece's 72 degree apparent field divided by that magnification, 0.65 degrees.

The exit pupil, the width of the light beam leaving the eyepiece, is the aperture divided by the magnification, 127 mm over 110x, which is 1.2 mm. That makes this a high-power lunar, planetary and double-star setting.
