Check the exit pupil

On fast telescopes, 56 mm can produce an excessively large exit pupil. The eyepiece is therefore especially useful with long focal lengths and slower focal ratios.

Practical note

Divide 56 mm by your telescope's focal ratio. If the resulting exit pupil is much larger than about 7 mm, part of the telescope aperture will not be used effectively.
