You guys have to get a Mallincam...I see serious color (like hubble color) on a lot of objects in near real time even with my AP 180mm.

Visually I see color with my 20 inch Obsession on the Orion nebula and the Dumbell and a few other larger objects. ...Not neon, but not usually just one color either... There are numerous small blue or green planetaries especially in the summer.

Yes, but a Mallincam is astrophotography and not visual observing. It is possible to see color in brighter emission and planetary nebulae, although again, the colors are somewhat subdued and red will be the most difficult color to discern. Clear skies to you.
