Or not. I have no idea why its doing that. And its not even going in front of the planet?
Sorry, Iapetus, you are no longer my favorite moon of Saturn!

Actually, this is good news. The position is much more accurate. I just need to figure out what's causing the wonky part and we'll be all good.
Hi Greg
Just FYI, I sometimes use a couple of other well known Planetarium programs and with one of them, one of the fainter moons is always 180 degrees out of place in its orbit, and with the other, the moon seems to remain stationary even when I scroll the time forward in increments of several hours. This tells me that these kind of problems are not easy to grapple with and provide a fix.
Cheers
Dennis
