Good fit. In the Celestron NexStar Evolution 9.25 the Celestron Omni 56mm Plossl gives 42x with a 1.12 degree true field and a 5.6 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 56 mm is 42x. The true field of view is the eyepiece's 47 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, 235 mm over 42x, which is 5.6 mm. That makes this a low-power, wide-field and deep-sky setting.
