LO-IV-154H Several lettered craters named after Bettinus are visible here. These include Bettinus F, the 6-km crater on the main crater's northeast floor, nearly covered by shadow; 7-km Bettinus E, on the rim nearby; 8-km Bettinus H, also on the rim at 5 o'clock; 9-km Bettinus D, outside the rim at 7 o'clock; and ragged 26-km Bettinus A in the lower left corner. The 12-km crater along the lower right margin (below Bettinus H) is Kircher B, named for the nearby crater to the south.
