Stöfler (crater)

Stöfler is a large lunar impact crater located in the crater-dotted southern highlands.

The distorted crater Fernelius is attached to the northern rim, and Miller and Nasireddin lie to the west.

The rim of Stöfler is worn and eroded, but the outline remains relatively intact except where overlain by Faraday.

The crater floor has been filled in with deposits, either from lava flows or ejecta from basin impacts, and is relatively flat and featureless in the northwest half.

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