It depends on the telescope's starting and finishing magnification.
In terms of magnification they will be the same (4 x approx)
Nikkor (55-200) or 82.5 - 300 is still only 3.6363636 times magnification, Because you multiply both ends by 1.5.
(If your telescope has 4 times magnification, and the large end was 100mm, the small end would be 25mm)
The viewfinder is just a glorified square, set to give you the view that the sensor gets from the lens.
If you have an full size sensor camera, then the viewfinder would be set to give you the view that that sensor gets.
