Copernicus and Eratosthenes craters

Below left, half lit, we can see the Copernicus crater, a vaguely hexagonal crater about 96 km in diameter.

At the top right, however, the Eratosthenes crater is visible.

The Eratosthenes crater is a crater of about 59 km in diameter in which the central peaks are clearly distinguishable.

Halfway between the 2 craters, slightly shifted downwards, we can see the phantom crater Stadius.
