With both - you are not likely to see any colours - our eyes are not adapted to such light conditions.

deep sky objects are more dependent on local light conditions - if you can get to a really dark site - that is much more important than having a great telescope.

to get colour in nebula - they usually take a series of photographs with different colour filters - then combine the photos. it is not normally possible with normal vision.
