Good fit. In the Celestron StarSense Explorer LT 80AZ the Tele Vue 14mm Delos gives 64x with a 1.12 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: 900 mm divided by 14 mm is 64x. The true field of view is the eyepiece's 72 degree apparent field divided by that magnification, 1.12 degrees.
The exit pupil, the width of the light beam leaving the eyepiece, is the aperture divided by the magnification, 80 mm over 64x, which is 1.2 mm. That makes this a high-power lunar, planetary and double-star setting.
