Satellite Feature of Orontius

Named after Oronce Fine (Orontius Finaeus Delphinatus) - French mathematician, cartographer (1494-1555).

Orontius is a lunar impact crater that lies in the heavily cratered southern highlands 's near side. It is located to the northwest of the prominent ray crater Tycho, and south and east of the large walled plain Deslandres. The eastern part of the crater is overlain by the smaller crater Huggins, which is overlain in turn on its eastern rim by the still smaller Nasireddin, the trio forming a crater chain of diminishing dimensions.
