Hi all,

Here's one from 11th April of Alexander and Eudoxus with just the top of
their rims catching the morning light, and to the east are the Daniell Rilles.

It looks to me like there are the remains of a degraded crater that I haven't
noticed before (similar in size to Eudoxus) just to the east of Eudoxus. You
can see the outline of what remains of its southern rim with the northern
section obliterated by the debris from Imbrium or maybe the impact that
created Lacus Mortis.
