R1: Stadius appears as a ghost crater. The tallest part of Stadius' crater walls is in the NE and SW. The NW and SE crater walls don't appear - flooding? disintegration? or both? There were hints of numerous very small craters on its floor, but I wasn't sure.
R2: Two dark patches were located on the floor of Mare Insularum to this crater's south.
R3: The prominent mountain massif between Stadius and Eratosthenes is HUGE compared to Stadius but is comparable in height to Eratosthenes. It was also very bright - you couldn't miss it!
