Scheiner (Crater)Scheiner is a lunar impact crater that lies to the west of the enormous Clavius walled-plain. To the southeast near the rim of Clavius is the Blancanus crater. The rim of Scheiner is worn, eroded, and marked with multiple impacts. It is the most heavily worn in the northern part, where a cluster of craterlets covers the entrance to a low valley leading to the north. The floor of the crater has several craterlets, including 'Scheiner A' that lies near the mid-point. The crater is named after the 17th century astronomer Christoph Scheiner. 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 Scheiner crater. | idth="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Latitude | width="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Longitude | width="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Diameter | | lign="center"|A | align="center"|60.4° S | align="center"|28.2° W | align="center"|12 km | | lign="center"|B | align="center"|59.5° S | align="center"|33.3° W | align="center"|29 km | | lign="center"|C | align="center"|60.0° S | align="center"|30.7° W | align="center"|13 km | | lign="center"|D | align="center"|60.7° S | align="center"|32.1° W | align="center"|17 km | | lign="center"|E | align="center"|63.4° S | align="center"|29.3° W | align="center"|24 km | | lign="center"|F | align="center"|56.7° S | align="center"|25.0° W | align="center"|6 km | | lign="center"|G | align="center"|62.5° S | align="center"|28.2° W | align="center"|14 km | | lign="center"|H | align="center"|56.2° S | align="center"|27.2° W | align="center"|9 km | | lign="center"|J | align="center"|59.5° S | align="center"|28.4° W | align="center"|12 km | | lign="center"|K | align="center"|58.0° S | align="center"|25.9° W | align="center"|7 km | | lign="center"|L | align="center"|65.8° S | align="center"|35.1° W | align="center"|9 km | | lign="center"|M | align="center"|65.8° S | align="center"|33.4° W | align="center"|10 km | | lign="center"|P | align="center"|62.6° S | align="center"|31.0° W | align="center"|11 km | | lign="center"|Q | align="center"|58.7° S | align="center"|29.4° W | align="center"|8 km | | lign="center"|R | align="center"|58.0° S | align="center"|24.2° W | align="center"|8 km | | lign="center"|S | align="center"|58.4° S | align="center"|25.3° W | align="center"|7 km | | lign="center"|T | align="center"|60.9° S | align="center"|34.8° W | align="center"|12 km | | lign="center"|U | align="center"|60.9° S | align="center"|36.0° W | align="center"|7 km | | lign="center"|V | align="center"|60.6° S | align="center"|36.7° W | align="center"|5 km | | lign="center"|W | align="center"|60.3° S | align="center"|37.5° W | align="center"|6 km | | lign="center"|X | align="center"|59.6° S | align="center"|24.8° W | align="center"|7 km | | lign="center"|Y | align="center"|59.1° S | align="center"|25.2° W | align="center"|9 km |
