Observation 2: Saw this again when observing Kies and Mercator (IWLOP #101 - Kies, Mercator & Campanus). Walls were very terraced and had at least 2 central peaks. Rim is not rounded completely; perhaps the rim has collapsed partially in some sections (?). The north rim didn't look as defined as the others; not sure if due to crater formation or the lighting on the Moon. |
