Schröter C (Moon)

Satellite Feature of Schröter

Named after Johann Hieronymus Schröter - German astronomer (1745-1816).

Schröter lies to the north of the craters Sömmering and Mösting. This cleft begins at a small crater in the mare, then follows a line to the south-southeast. The rim is heavily worn and eroded, with a wide gap in the southern wall and a deep indentation to the southeast. (wikipedia entry)
