Hi all,
I couple days ago I said this image was the crater Calippus, but after carefully checking Lunar Orbiter images, I discovered it was Manilius. Manilius is 39 km wide with very steep walls. To the lower left of the image is a dark halo crater (DHC)which are possibly volcanic in nature with a dark ejecta blankets.
I reprocessed the image and dug out more detail.
cheers
