This is the southern end of the Mare Humorum, and just south of this picture. Doppelmayer is the largely-flooded crater on the southern shores of Mare Humorum. It is around 3,900 million years old. It must have formed after the creation of the Humorum basin but before its final flooding.
The scale markers are approximately 100 Km north and east.
The picture was taken in green light with a DMK camera attached to my LX200 on 27th March 2010 at 23:35 UT when the Moon was 12.3 days old.
