Good fit. In the Celestron C9.25 optical tube the Explore Scientific 6.7mm 82 Degree gives 351x with a 0.23 degree true field and a 0.7 mm exit pupil, inside the telescope's useful range.
Magnification is the telescope focal length divided by the eyepiece focal length: 2350 mm divided by 6.7 mm is 351x. The true field of view is the eyepiece's 82 degree apparent field divided by that magnification, 0.23 degrees.
The exit pupil, the width of the light beam leaving the eyepiece, is the aperture divided by the magnification, 235 mm over 351x, which is 0.7 mm. That makes this a high-power lunar, planetary and double-star setting.
