What part of the Moon is this?

[von Tom (Tom)]

I did a couple of images of the Moon last night and found this interesting area. I have been trying to find it on a map but cannot determined what craters they are. Can anyone help?

Hi Tom. Interesting image. I think that the main crater is Phocylides and the flooded "positive" crater is Wargentin, with Nasmyth joining them. Regards Ray

Thanks Ray that's them all right The area was interesting because of the shadow shape between the two craters, and Wargentin - I couldn't figure out what it was but took a stab at it being a crater filled to the brim with lava. Here's a couple of LPODs with descriptions:

Hi Dennis, thanks. It's funny, I just couldn't find it and it seems such a well known area
