(IAU Directions) FRAUNHOFER.--A ring-plain, S. of Furnerius, about 30 miles in diameter, with a regular border rising about 5,000 feet above the floor. A smaller ring-plain abuts on the N.W. side of it, which has slightly disturbed its wall.

Additional Information
- Depth data from Kurt Fisher database
Westfall, 2000: 2.16 km
Viscardy, 1985: 1.5 km
Cherrington, 1969: 2.4 km - Faunhofer J is also a pre-Nectarian crater (Wilhelms, 1987)
The possible Concentric Crater (CC) on the floor of Fraunhofer
- Is there a possible Concentric Crater (CC) slightly southwest from the centre of Fraunhofer's floor? See: http://bit.ly/2EXKait
- Was this possible CC already known? - DannyCaes Jan 20, 2018
- Yes, it was discovered by John Moore, March 2012, see:
Nomenclature
- Joseph von; German astronomer, optician (1787-1826).
- Satellite craters Fraunhofer T and V were erroneously printed as FRAUNHOFFER T and FRAUNHOFFER V on LAC 114, page 229 in the REVISED AND UPDATED EDITION of the Clementine Atlas of the Moon, 2012, CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS.- DannyCaes Jan 9, 2013
