05/06/26 - Reshot with a SVBony MK127 with the .65 Reducer and a ASI 585 Air Pro for 309 frames at 3 second/frame = 927 seconds or 15 minutes. Attempted to capture at 30 and 10 seconds frames but the application kept erroring out with not enough stars. Gain was increased from 150 to the max of 300 to get enough stars. Also, could no get the "Focus Zoom" feature because could not find a star.

NGC 2841 is an unbarred spiral galaxy in the northern circumpolar constellation of Ursa Major. It was discovered on 9 March, 1788 by German-born astronomer William Herschel. J. L. E. Dreyer, the author of the New General Catalogue, described it as, "very bright, large, very much extended 151°, very suddenly much brighter middle equal to 10th magnitude star". Initially thought to be about 30 million light-years distant, a 2001 Hubble Space Telescope survey of the galaxy's Cepheid variables determined its distance to be approximately 14.1 megaparsecs or 46 million light-years. The optical size of the galaxy is 8.1' × 3.5'.
