The Japanese Hayabusa 2 twitter account reports that the spacecraft has begun descending toward Ryugu in preparation to deploy the MASCOT lander. Nothing on the English twitter as of the time of this post.

It appears from the simulator that from 1500 meters on, MINERVA rovers will start to be visible as 1 pixel bright objects in ONC-T. But we'll have to wait down to 400 meters to see them in ONC-W.
ONC-T resolution is 10 times ONC-W, so 1 pixel in ONC-W is 10 pixel in ONC-T.

The last three frames show a persistent very bright dot on the surface. Possible MINERVA-II1 rover or protective drum?

Sorry, no - the Minerva area is on the other side of Ryugu. The white spot might be added to the images to indicate the descent target point (I'm only guessing) or it could be a naturally reflective object (there are several of them in earlier images). When somebody posted about the sizes of Minerva hardware in pixels, I think they were really only talking about image resolution, not whether the items would be visible, because they are not near the Masot landing area. For one thing, Mascot is targeted south of the equatorial ridge, Minerva was targeted north of it.

Identification of rocks on the picture taken at 1h46 UTC with shadow of Hayabusa 2 as a red cross. The shadow is probably shifted out of the map on the right since the map is missing a vertical band of latitude on 340° and 360°.

My recording of the delivery operations based on JAXA data (altitude in meters):

CODE
Alt    Generated at (GMT)     Received At (GMT))
101    2018-10-03 01:47:38    2018-10-03 02:05:47
47    2018-10-03 01:58:18    2018-10-03 02:16:27 - Mimimum altitude for 4 minutes
134    2018-10-03 02:02:02    2018-10-03 02:20:10 - Hayabusa 2 rises again.


Full recording of descent:
https://programmi.000webhostapp.com/hayabus...r/ONC_A-log.txt

There are multiple lines for same data, but if you set up a "sparse data" chart in Excel, multiple lines will result is same point be drawn at same coordinate, so you'll just see one point.

Press conference video (no links to press release yet):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3WNAg5Zfvs

It looks like national broadcasting company NHK created a simulated realtime video based on JAXA data during descent, but it was live, and I can't find the recording now:
