Good fit. In the Celestron NexStar Evolution 9.25 the Tele Vue 24mm Panoptic gives 98x with a 0.69 degree true field and a 2.4 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 24 mm is 98x. The true field of view is the eyepiece's 68 degree apparent field divided by that magnification, 0.69 degrees.
The exit pupil, the width of the light beam leaving the eyepiece, is the aperture divided by the magnification, 235 mm over 98x, which is 2.4 mm. That makes this a medium-power general setting.
