Good fit. In the Sky-Watcher Evostar 80ED the Celestron Omni 32mm Plossl gives 19x with a 2.56 degree true field and a 4.3 mm exit pupil, inside the telescope's useful range.
Magnification is the telescope focal length divided by the eyepiece focal length: 600 mm divided by 32 mm is 19x. The true field of view is the eyepiece's 48 degree apparent field divided by that magnification, 2.56 degrees.
The exit pupil, the width of the light beam leaving the eyepiece, is the aperture divided by the magnification, 80 mm over 19x, which is 4.3 mm. That makes this a low-power, wide-field and deep-sky setting.
