This kind of narrowband filtering lets you mostly bypass issues with light pollution

The Hubble palette is false colour. You take monochrome photos using filters in 3 very narrow wavelengths of light, corresponding to emissions from sulphur, hydrogen and oxygen. These are then used as the RGB colour channels to form the colour image (along with a bunch of other processing).

I only ever went to one star party when I worked for Astronomy Ireland one summer during college. I don't remember looking through any of the telescopes 😄
