This image shows the initial landing site and the ledge just above the final landing point, the left of the two "horns" at the edge of the big crater. Unfortunately the ledge and alcove Philae is hiding in, is in the dark just below. What it does show is that the second touchdown point I suggest, which is right at the very end of the ledge, was the same darker grey colour at this time before the landing This image does show Philae's first touchdown was on a side slope and explains why she veered off in an easterly direction. A zoomable image of the top left quadrant is available here. blogs.esa.int/rosetta/files/2014/11/ESA_Rosetta_NAVCAM_14... and the bottom left quadrant here. blogs.esa.int/rosetta/files/2014/11/ESA_Rosetta_NAVCAM_14...
