Good fit. In the Celestron StarSense Explorer DX 130AZ the Tele Vue 14mm Delos gives 46x with a 1.55 degree true field and a 2.8 mm exit pupil, inside the telescope's useful range.

Magnification is the telescope focal length divided by the eyepiece focal length: 650 mm divided by 14 mm is 46x. The true field of view is the eyepiece's 72 degree apparent field divided by that magnification, 1.55 degrees.

The exit pupil, the width of the light beam leaving the eyepiece, is the aperture divided by the magnification, 130 mm over 46x, which is 2.8 mm. That makes this a medium-power general setting.
