Your blue and yellow may be reversed.

I think you're right. So you still place it just south of Chaffee? No precession from the "early" landing?

The broadcast ended with a great landing video. Let's hope it is released soon. Fantastic job, everyone involved.

First impression, a bit north of the target.

Coordinates are approximately -41.63839 206.01455, or 153.98545 W, 41.63839 S.
Edit: SegerYu beat me to it. Similar result. https://x.com/SegerYu/status/1797110109493166299

I'm seeing reports on Weibo and from some Chinese spaceflight accounts on Twitter that the drilling has concluded successfully.
This would be in contrast to the Chang'e 5 drilling which was blocked due to a rock.

Excellent work finding the site. It looks like we will have to wait about 6 days for an LRO overflight.

Frame from the landing video showing shadows of footpad and 2 landing engine nozzles, and dust streaming from the sub-spacecraft point.

Here is a very preliminary (in finished map terms, not location) map of the landing location to help find it among the sea of craters. Remember that the landing video frames have west at the top, so my site in the last map looks different from the video.

Oops - will replace shortly! Silly mistake.

OK, Silly mistake corrected and the map more finished than it was before.

That looks more like a Yutu 2 image, not a Chang'E 6 image
https://photos.smugmug.com/Change-4-Yutu-2/...Panorama-4K.jpg for example

( update- it is infact this exact location from Yutu 2 - https://dougellison.smugmug.com/Change-4-Yutu-2/i-CKR2SZW )

Just to put the location in a broader perspective view, as following the video gives some important marker craters.
