Lunar #51: Catena Davy

Catena Davy is a 50 km long chain of craterlets that lies mostly within the crater Davy Y (70 km diameter), but extends just beyond its eastern wall toward Davy G (15 km). Davy itself (35 km) is the more pronounced crater that perforates the southwest wall of Davy Y. Davy's southeastern wall is in turn perforated by Davy A (13 km).
