- Ptolemaeus A (Ammonius) was captured on Ranger 8's Frame P002 (third photograph in this frame, at lower left).
- One of Apollo 12's orbital Hasselblad photographs of Ammonius is included in the book Full Moon by Michael Light and Andrew Chaikin. This photograph (AS12-51-7506, as Plate 43) looks almost the same as AS12-51-7507. Both photographs show the bowl-shaped crater Ammonius in the foreground, while the lunar module (LM Intrepid) is seen near the lunar horizon.

Additional Information
- Depth data from Kurt Fisher database
- Westfall, 2000: 1.86 km
- Viscardy, 1985: 1.85 km
- Included in ALPO list of bright ray craters.
- Included in ALPO list of banded craters
Nomenclature
- Named for Ammonius (unkn.-c. A.D. 517-526), a Greek philosopher.
- The name Ptolemaeus A was part of the original IAU nomenclature of Blagg and Müller (Catalog Entry 2963). The name is attributed to Mädler.
- This replacement name for a formerly lettered crater was provisionally introduced on LTO-77D2 (Oct. 1974), for which it served as the chart title. It was approved in 1976 (IAU Transactions XVIB). - JimMosher JimMosher
- Hugh Percy Wilkins and Patrick Moore proposed calling this crater Lyot, but the I.A.U. did not approve the name. The name Lyot was later used for a crater near the Moon's southeastern limb.
