The crater is about 142 km in diameter (a state the size of Montenegro could fit inside).
The ancient impact crater is 3.9-4.1 billion years old. It was formed during the Late Heavy Bombardment. The crater is often seen in a distorted perspective because it is located at the limb (edge of the lunar disk).
The shooting was done using a Schmidt-Cassegrain C/9.25 XLT telescope, an ASI678MC camera, and a UV&IR Cut filter (equivalent focal length 2350mm).
