  We estimate the acceleration on the Local Group (LG) from the Two Micron All
Sky Redshift Survey (2MRS). The sample used includes about 23,200 galaxies with
extinction corrected magnitudes brighter than K_s=11.25 and it allows us to
calculate the flux weighted dipole. The near-infrared flux weighted dipoles are
very robust because they closely approximate a mass weighted dipole, bypassing
the effects of redshift distortions and require no preferred reference frame.
This is combined with the redshift information to determine the change in
dipole with distance. The misalignment angle between the LG and the CMB dipole
drops to 12 degrees at around 50 Mpc/h, but then increases at larger distances,
reaching 21 degrees at around 130 Mpc/h. Exclusion of the galaxies Maffei 1,
Maffei 2, Dwingeloo 1, IC342 and M87 brings the resultant flux dipole to 14
degrees away from the CMB velocity dipole In both cases, the dipole seemingly
converges by 60 Mpc/h. Assuming convergence, the comparison of the 2MRS flux
dipole and the CMB dipole provides a value for the combination of the mass
density and luminosity bias parameters Omega_m^0.6/b_L=0.40+/-0.09.
