Had a look at it tonight. Very easy to see both objects with direct vision in the 20". Last observed it back in January 2012 with a 12" and noted that IC 2163 was only visible with averted vision. Tonight it was doable with direct vision but the halo of 2207 is quite faint so only the core was readily seen. As a result NGC2207 is small and bright while IC2163 appears large and faint.
Nice pair though!
