How can I get spherical coordinates for Apollo 12 landing site (Procellarum) ?

Did you look at "Apollo by the numbers?"

From the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal:

  • Apollo 12 Mission Overview

    Apollo 12 (CSM Yankee Clipper and LM Intrepid)
    Saturn V
    November 14-24, 1969
    Charles "Pete" Conrad, Jr.
    Richard F. Gordon, Jr.
    Alan L. Bean

    10 days, 04 hours, 36 minutes
    Landing site: Ocean of Storms.
    Landing Coordinates: 3.01381 degrees South, 23.41930 degrees West
    (Source: National Space Science Data Center)

    Retrieved parts of the unmanned Surveyor 3, which had landed on the Moon in April 1967. Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP) deployed. 34kg (75 lbs) of material gathered. Two EVAs totaling 7 hours 50 minutes. Lunar surface stay-time, 31.5 hours; in lunar orbit 89 hours, with 45 orbits. LM ascent stage (purposefully) impacted on Moon (after surface crew returns to orbit).
 
Thanks for your answer. I am not able to set the correct Lat, Long and Rad when I am trying to make an as accurate TLI-burn as possible with the IMFD 5.1m to save fuel.

List of Spherical coordinates?

Is there anybody that can post a list of Spherical coordinates for Apollo-mission lunar landing sites?
