Craters Clavius ​​and Longomontanus region.

Clavius (225 km) ​​and Maginus (163 km) are two craters that lie south of Tycho (85 km).

Clavius ​​can be seen even through binoculars, but if you want to see close its unique characteristics, you have to come close with your eyes by an astronomical telescope.

Snapshots captured on the same day, and of the same craters, are posted in this article too.
