- Although the LPI's search list for orbital Apollo photographs shows nothing for Saunder, this crater WAS captured on several north-looking frames made by Apollo 16's mapping/metric Fairchild camera. One of those frames is AS16-M-0836, which shows Saunder a little bit above and to the right of the frame's centre.

Ruins of a very ancient large crater southeast of Saunder
- Southeast of Saunder there seems to be a circle-shaped arrangement of elevations that looks more-or-less like the ruins of a large crater the size of Hipparchus. This circle-shaped tendency is depicted on SLC map C5 (System of Lunar Craters, 1966). How much of this ancient crater could be observed during low-sun circumstances? - DannyCaes DannyCaes Jan 21, 2017
Nomenclature
- Named for Samuel Arthur Saunder (1852-1912), a British mathematician and selenographer. In the early 1900's Saunder initiated a program to measure precise positions of lunar craters to extend the accuracy of hand drawn lunar maps. His [/ULCN control points] served as the basis for the positions reported in the IAU's [/Named%20Lunar%20Formations Named Lunar Formations]. Saunder's Presidential Address to the 1903-4 Session of the [/BAA BAA] includes an interesting history of lunar cartography and its usefulness, or lack of usefulness, for detecting changes on the Moon.
- Named by Karl [/M%C3%BCller Müller] in [/Blagg%20and%20M%C3%BCller Named Lunar Formations] in 1935 ([/Whitaker Whitaker], p 229).
