At 29° North/ 61°30' West (northwest of Golgi) an unnamed ghost crater is noticeable, especially on the Hi-Res scan of Lunar Orbiter 4's photograph LOIV-163-h1.
This ghost crater was also captured on Apollo 15's orbital ITEK-panoramic photograph AS15-P-10364 (noticeable as a very faint ring, slightly rightward of the frame's centre).
