David, thanks for the question. It helped me realize I was a bit careless with the details on this photo.
I should clarify that the crater's name is actually "J. Herschel" Crater. It is the large, rough, oval crater at the bottom of the image, a bit right of center, just touching the nighttime edge of the moon. (There is a bright, very oval, smaller crater breaking its rim on the right side.) The nearly perfectly round crater at top, just left of center is called Plato. The smooth, semicircle at top right is called Sinus Iridum (Bay of Rainbows).
