Default Drygalski crater

By coincidence, an almost identically illuminated rendition of this
crater can be found on LPOD today (24th Sept 08) as taken by Damian
Peach. Mine was taken under slightly less favourable libration.

This is a very hard to get 167km crater which lives in the Moon's
south-western libration zone. The crater walls can be made out fairly
easily as can the central peak complex.
