This complex crater has a crushed central relief and the area was
completely enveloped with shadow. I could make out some of the western
terraced walls within the crater. Heinrich (9.5 km), B (5 km) and C (4
km), were very clear as well as a small portion of the wrinkle ridge to
the southeast. Timocharis was formed ~ 3.2 to 1.1 billion years ago
during the Erathosthenian period. Height is estimated to be 3110 meters.
Faint small rays can be spotted with decent seeing conditions.
