C1: Seleucus was deep with a central peak. Briggs and Krafft were easily located. Eddington had very shallow or no crater walls on the south and east. The crater walls of Struve and Russell rose on the terminator - Struve was attached to Eddington; Russell was close to but not touching Struve.

The Luna 13 landing site was SE of Seleucus and NE of Krafft. The area appeared flat.
