Lunar Astronautical Chart 099 3D rendered with SLDEM2015 dataset and overlaid with Wide Area Camera image.   Like LAC 098, the chart is dominated by a single crater, 199km Humboldt.  If Humboldt was not near the limb of the Near Side Moon, it would be a contender to the fame of Copernicus, Clavius or Gassendi.

A lower southern view of Humboldt and 80km Hecatatus and the sharp-rimmed 23km Hecatatus L to the north.
