NGC 2841 is a magnitude 10.1 spiral galaxy in the constellation of Ursa Major. It has an apparent size of 8.3 arc minutes, and is estimated at 50 million light years distance. This is a favorite of mine visually with my Mallincam, but in this CCD shot I was able to better capture the 'flocculant' appearance of the outer regions.
