Good fit. In the Celestron PowerSeeker 127EQ the Explore Scientific 11mm 82 Degree gives 91x with a 0.9 degree true field and a 1.4 mm exit pupil, inside the telescope's useful range.
Magnification is the telescope focal length divided by the eyepiece focal length: 1000 mm divided by 11 mm is 91x. The true field of view is the eyepiece's 82 degree apparent field divided by that magnification, 0.9 degrees.
The exit pupil, the width of the light beam leaving the eyepiece, is the aperture divided by the magnification, 127 mm over 91x, which is 1.4 mm. That makes this a high-power lunar, planetary and double-star setting.
