Orbits of moons of Saturn :(

So these numbers need to be added to the Horizons ascending node to give a correct Celestia ascending node. They are calculated for the J2000.0 pole position, and given to a perhaps-spurious six decimal places.

Mars -40.863031 degrees
Jupiter 20.453422 degrees
Saturn -39.977646 degrees
Uranus 5.013392 degrees (IAU north pole)
Uranus -5.013392 degrees (Celestia north pole)
Neptune -24.527368 degrees
Pluto -17.515689 degrees (IAU north pole)
Pluto 17.515689 degrees (Celestia north pole)

i just want to make sure i'm doing this right, so for example, you'd take mars (preset) at 49.479, add -40.863031 to get 8.615969? just want to check before i screw up.

STOP!
These corrections only apply to satellite orbital data downloaded from JPL's Horizons ephemeris service - if you asked them for, say, the orbit of Phobos at such-and-such a date, you'd need to correct the ascending node they sent you for Phobos by the amount I've given.
They don't apply to the planets themselves as listed in solarsys.ssc.

oooooooohhh, oops i think i made a boo boo. oh well, i can fix it.
