R1: Lacus Timoris has very flat dark floor with a few small craters. Haidinger was above the NE end of the Lacus and I could see three craters in close proximity - perhaps A, B and J (?).
R2: The Lacus is surrounded by mountains with several craters of various sizes on all its sides. The narrows of the Lacus seems to be created by higher peaks on either side. It is dark in colour compared to surrounding features.
C1: Hainzel, Hainzel A and C were in deep shadow; however, their NE rims facing the Lacus and Hainzel's SW inner rim were well lit.
