the owl nebula is very faint. under heavy light pollution (red skies)and average transparency it appears as a large (compared to the ring nebula) very faint oval at 165x with my 12incher. you really cant see the "eyes". the Ring is waaayy more pronounced. under the same conditions with the same scope and same magnification, the Ring looks like a bright 3D puffy oval
