Messier 46 and 47

I recently spent a 3 weeks holiday in Mid Sweden (Bergslagens Kanal area). October/November really isn’t the holiday season over there, but it is if you want to enjoy some dark skies. It ‘s very bright during the night in summer.
I had a few crisp clear nights the first week, so was the temperature at night (freezing -6.5°C to -8°C). The other 2 weeks were either too cloudy or too humid for decent observation.
Until the last night, which showed the milky way 180° from SE to NW. Never saw that before. Of course all the gear was packed already for leaving the next morning, so typical .. So I had to use my old 7×50 that night.
All in all, I was able to make 10 good sketches in 3 nights only, a poor result unfortunately.
