Daguerre (crater)
(Redirected from Daguerre crater)
Daguerre is a circular formation near the north end of Mare Nectaris. To the west-northwest is Mädler crater, and beyond it to the west is the prominent Theophilus crater. To the north in the rugged continental area between the maria is the Isidorus crater.
This feature has the appearance of a lunar crater that has been nearly submerged by a lava flow, leaving a gap in the southwest wall that gives the feature the appearance of a horse-shoe. The floor is overlaid by the linear ray from the Mädler crater.
Satellite craters
By convention these features are identified on Lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Daguerre crater.
