Schuster is a lunar impact crater that lies along the eastern rim of the much larger walled plain Mendeleev, on the far side of the Moon.

To the east of Schuster is the crater Henderson, and to the southeast lies the large Chaplygin.

The schuster is a worn and eroded crater formation, with the most intact portion of the rim along the western half where it overlaps Mendeleev.

The eastern half of the floor is pock-marked by small and tiny craterlets.

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