Opelt is the lava-flooded remnant of a lunar crater on the Mare Nubium. It lies to the north of a similar formation named Gould, and to the northeast of the prominent Bullialdus. Only a slightly raised outline remains 's rim, the interior having been inundated with lava. The rim has a wide break at the northern end and several smaller breaks to the south and southeast.
