Kostinsky is a lunar crater on the far side. It is nearly attached to the northeastern outer rim of the crater Guyot. About one crater diameter to the southeast is Ostwald, and farther to the north is Olcott. The rim of Kostinsky is eroded, and along the southeast has been nearly worn away. (wikipedia entry)
