i have been observing moon and its craters many years and one of the most beautiful craters i observed is posidonius (a huge ring plain from class 3(in baldwin crater classification))).it seems like a double crater !( a crater inside a bigger crater.) with rounded and some ruined wall.
some smaller craters are around (and inside even) it . i love ! its interior cleft.i have made many sketches from it in these years and this is one f them.
