Schickard (crater)
Schickard is a lunar impact crater of the form called a walled plain. It lies in the southwest sector of the Moon, near the lunar limb. As a result, the crater appears oblong due to foreshortening. T. W. Webb called this crater "an enormous plain" that "is encircled by a complex wall"; "the interior is nearly level, but its colour strongly varied". Attached to the northern rim is the lesser crater Lehmann, and to the northeast is the even smaller Drebbel. Southwest of Schickard is Wargentin, a lava-flooded plateau.
