. It is located in the far northern latitudes, to the northwest of the walled plain
Poczobutt. About two crater diameters to the north-northwest of Nöther lies
Niepce.
This is an old, eroded feature with an outer rim that has become round-shouldered and marked with several small craterlets. The inner wall is narrower along the northeastern side, while the southern half is the most heavily marked by impacts. The interior floor is nearly level and featureless, with only a small craterlet near the north-northeastern inner wall and a tiny crater in the south-southwest.
