LO-IV-079H Chacornac is the 51-km diameter crater above center, with the south rim of Posidonius above it. The arrows indicate the Rima Chacornac I and IV components of Rimae Chacornac as identified in the System of Lunar Craters and on LAC-43. Rima Chacornac I runs just to the west of 5-km Chacornac A (the crater on the floor) and 6-km Chacornac B (the crater on the rim). It terminates near 21-km Le Monnier A (the crater with the fluted rim at the bottom of the frame). Rima Chacornac IV runs from near an unnamed 8-km crater on the south rim of Posidonius to where it disappears into Le Monnier/Mare Serenitatis near 4-km Le Monnier K. The other two classic components of this rille system were Rima Chacornac II, which starts on the floor of Chacornac to the east of Rima Chacornac I; and Rima Chacornac III, which angles to the east of Rima Chacornac I;
outside the crater rim, at about 5 o-clock. Neither of these is easy to spot in this Lunar Orbiter view.

Since October 2017 it is possible to get a wonderful simulation of this oblique northward view (of the Posidonius-Chacornac region) in the new version of the LROC Act-React Quick Map (the rotateable digital moon's "3D" sphere).
