LO-IV-102H [/Triesnecker Triesnecker] is the isolated 26-km polygonal crater to the lower right of center. To its west is the deeply shadowed circular 13-km [/Chladni Chladni], and beyond that 57-km [/Murchison Murchison]. In the upper left is 23-km [/Ukert Ukert], and in the upper right 9-km [/Hyginus Hyginus] with the prominent crater chain/rille [/Rima%20Hyginus Rima Hyginus] passing through it. Rimae Triesnecker is the name used to designate a series of rilles generally to the east of [/Triesnecker Triesnecker], which had several Roman-numeralled segments in the IAU nomenclature of [/Named%20Lunar%20Formations Named Lunar Formations] and the later [/System%20of%20Lunar%20Craters System of Lunar Craters], from which these identifications are copied. Note that Rimae Triesnecker VI is a somewhat broader rille only marginally visible in this [/Lunar%20Orbiter Lunar Orbiter] view. It is seen better at lower sun angles, and should not be confused with the skinnier but more prominent unnumbered north-south rille to its west.

Additional Information
Rimae Triesnecker is a well-known system among dedicated observers of the moon. It's the perfect test-object for those who want to know if their telescope is capable of showing the whole system during ideal conditions of seeing and illumination (during local post-sunrise or pre-sunset circumstances). - DannyCaes DannyCaes Dec 25, 2017
Nomenclature
- Named after the nearby crater. ([/Triesnecker Triesnecker])
- The original [/IAU%20nomenclature IAU nomenclature] of [/Blagg%20and%20M%C3%BCller Blagg and Müller] (1935) apparently included six Roman-numeraled rilles named after [/Triesnecker Triesnecker].
- The [/System%20of%20Lunar%20Craters System of Lunar Craters] seems to have deleted Triesnecker IV (which referred to the separate segment of rille at the tip of the uppermost "III" arrow in the above image) and added Triesnecker VII (which was perhaps regarded as a part of V in the original nomenclature).
- In [/IAU%20Transactions%20XVB 1973], the IAU declared its intention that "Rimae and Rima systems will receive new and more appropriate designations," however no action on this resolution seems ever to have been taken. As a result, in the [/IAU%20Planetary%20Gazetteer IAU Planetary Gazetteer] (beginning with the printed version) simply lumps the groups of Roman-numeraled rilles together as a "rimae" with a rough indication of the area in which they fall. It is unclear if the old Roman-numeraled designations remain approved designations of individual rilles pending the formulation of the "new and more appropriate designations".
- In the south (below the tips of the lowermost arrows), Triesnecker V is intersected by what was known as Rima Rhaeticus I in the [/System%20of%20Lunar%20Craters System of Lunar Craters]. It might be thought of as a fork of Triesnecker I and continues south across the margin of the frame. There seem to no longer be any rilles associated with [/Rhaeticus Rhaeticus] in the IAU nomenclature (there were originally four), and the segment shown here falls within the circle of Rimae Triesnecker defined by the position and diameter given in the on-line [/IAU%20Planetary%20Gazetteer IAU Planetary Gazetteer]. So perhaps it is now thought of as a part Rimae Triesnecker?
