A huge crater positioned just near from southern pole is Bailly. You have chance to see it on previous day of full moon. A diameter of the crater of Bailly reaches to 300km. This scale exceeds that of a representative large crater of Clavius. Inside of Bailly has been filled by lava. It may be said that we have to call it a basin rather than a crater. It's fairly difficult to observe Bailly in detail because we must see it from considerably tilted angle. The crater has a medium sized satellite crater inside, we cannot detect other noticeable features.
