Guess the name of this large Lunar Crater with its central peak?
Taken on Oct 30, 2020 of the lunar southwest limb
As you approach the limbs of the moon, the central peaks of large craters can be better viewed on their sides which gives you a good perspective of their heights, as seen in this photo.

PYTHAGORAS
Geological period: Eratosthenian (From -3.2 billions years to -1.1 billions years)
Dimension: 129.0x129.0Km / 78.0x78.0Mi
Height: 4800.0' / 14500.0ft
Virtual Moon Atlas says that it is in the northwest quadrant, not southwest.
What do I win?
BTW, decent photo
