It is possible I guess that the moon I have marked as Miranda is a rogue star? But seemed to be in similar location as predicted by the skyandtelescope.org tool. Thoughts?
Hi Dave

Thanks for posting those additional images.

Now the bad news - according to SkyTools 4 it looks like you may have a star, GSC 01223-0756 (Magnitude: 14.49), mistakenly identified as as Umbriel and Miranda is much closer to Uranus.

I've attached a screen capture from ST4 set for Brisbane on 15th Sept.

Cheers

Dennis
