Setting the Celestia time to 00:40 to allow for light travel time, Miranda seems to be slightly out of place compared to the picture given on the above website.

I haven't had a chance to check the Uranian moon positions in Celestia against this image yet. But, for 1.2.6 I'm going to check the positions of the Uranian satellites against trajectories from Celestia. They *should* match very closely. But that's what I said about the Galilean moons, too . . .
