You will see no colours in binos except on stars. Medium sized scopes show colour in some planetaries but not in other emission/reflection nebulae. Large to very large scopes show hint of colour in brightest emission nebulae (Orion, Eta Carina). Some can see colour in M42 in a 12", but I cannot.

I agree wholeheartedly. I use a recliner. It's okay handheld for 12x60. My biceps need work though... get tired pretty quickly.
