Azophi (crater)

Azophi is a lunar impact crater that lies in the rugged south-central highlands of the Moon.

[1] The northwest rim is attached to the slightly smaller crater Abenezra, to the east-southeast is the large and irregular Sacrobosco, and to the west-southwest is Playfair.

The wide outer rim of Azophi has a somewhat polygonal shape with rounded corners.

The rim is not significantly worn or impacted by smaller craters, with the exception of Azophi C, which lies on the inner northeast wall.

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Azophi.
