I have an image of the galaxy NGC 2841 in Ursa Major. This galaxy had noted supernova in April of 1999. (nothing seen in the recent image). A mid sized thumbnail is attached. A full sized image can be seen along with exposure and processing data at:

http://jthommes.com/Astro/NGC2841.htm

Scope is my C8 at f/5, Camera is my ToUcam SC3 RAW.

There were a few clouds and many unusable subframes. But total exposure time of the used data was about 38 minutes.

Don, Jeff, and Ivan,
Thanks guys for the comments on the image. I have worked hard with the webcam - this is the year I think I will move up to something more sophisticated (I hope, I hope).
