msting (crater)

Mösting is a small lunar crater that is located in the southeastern fringes of the Mare Insularum. The ruined crater Sömmering lies to the northwest. To the southeast is the large crater-bay of Flammarion. Mösting has a terraced inner wall and a small central hill at the mid-point of the floor. To the south-southeast lies the bowl-shaped 'Mösting A' crater. This small feature formed the fundamental location in the selenographical coordinate system. It was defined as having the following coordinates:

i>Latitude:	3° 12' 43.2"
i>Longitude:	5° 12' 39.6"

Later the coordinate system became even more precisely defined using the Lunar Laser Ranging Experiment.

Satellite craters

By convention these features are identified on Lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Mösting crater.
