The orbital plane as determined by amateur observations indicates a landing window centred around January 2nd. It's unclear if any planar adjustments to #ChangE4's orbit occurred during last manoeuvre as observations are awaited.
After days of silence it was finally announced that Chang'e 4 made the orbit lower burn (from 100 km circular to 15 x 100 km) at 00:55 UTC today. Does anyone "in the field" knows when will Chang'e 4 land? I've seen January 2 & 3 mentioned & official attitude is unhelpful.

Don't see any reason for a plane change, especially moving it towards a later date would only move away from local sunrise => less operation time. For me Jan 2 seems the best bet.
