I had been waiting quite a while to view this crater! Knew it was near Babbage and Sinus Roris. A real treat to finally see it!
C1: Markov was a slightly elongated crater with a pointed southern wall. Oenopides was easily located to Markov's north. Could not see the floor of Xenophanes and Volta but did locate their walls on the terminator. Appeared to be quite tall.
