The NGC 2841 group is a group of galaxies about 19.6 million light-years away from Earth. It includes the loose triplet NGC 2541, NGC 2500, and NGC 2552. NGC 2841 is the fourth-brightest galaxy in Ursa Major with an apparent magnitude of 9.2. It is 20' southeast of 3 Lyncis and just below the halfway point of an imaginary line between Theta and 15 Ursae Majoris.{{cite book|author=Crossen, Craig|author2=Rhemann, Gerald|title=Sky Vistas: Astronomy for Binoculars and Richest-Field Telescopes|publisher=Springer|location=New York, New York|date=2012|page=230|isbn=9783709106266|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=3vELBwAAQBAJ&pg=PA230}}
