Description:
Gx,10,8mag & 12,5mag, 2,5x1’& 2x1’, CMa. At 78x the pair looks like one galaxy
with a bright western part with a faint extension to the east. At 244x NGC2207
is elongated NW – SE with a bright star-like core and a faint structure-less
halo of about 2,5x1’. Its faint connected companion IC 2163 is elongated W – E
featuring a faint long oval of about 2x0,8’. No obvious core like in NGC 2207.
With averted vision IC 2163 shows a patchy feature E of its center. Very nice
pair!
