Using properties of skew-Hamiltonian matrices and classic connectedness results, we prove that the moduli space $M_{\text{ort}}^{0}\left( r,\,n \right)$ of stable rank $r$ orthogonal vector bundles on ${{\mathbb{P}}^{2}}$, with Chern classes $\left( {{c}_{1}},\,{{c}_{2}} \right)\,=\,\left( 0,\,n \right)$ and trivial splitting on the general line, is smooth irreducible of dimension $\left( r-2 \right)n\,-\,\left( _{2}^{r} \right)$ for $r\,=\,n$ and $n\,\ge \,4$, and $r\,=\,n-1$ and $n\,\ge \,8$. We speculate that the result holds in greater generality.
