Phil it is my fault, not Paolo's. I dug into the matter deeper and in addition to Phil's article also found this paper.
The list of sites is almost the same between the 2 sources, one lists 11 sites, the other has 12 (apparently old Boguslawsky crater site), one has coordinates down to 3 decimals, the other rounds it up to 2. These ellipses were meant for 2019 or 2020 landings so they might have changed further since the papers were published. I couldn't find much on Chandrayaan 3 site, but what i found says the plan to land at more or less same spot as at the last attempt. Here is update map with ellipse 6 marked as landing spot: |
