Bayer is an impact crater in the southwest quadrant of the moon . It lies east of the elongated Schiller crater and north-northeast of Rost . The large crater Clavius extends further to the south .
Bayer's crater rim is slightly eroded, but clearly visible. The inner wall has a terrace , while the outer walls have been more deformed by neighboring impacts. The most striking of these impact craters is 'Schiller H', which adjoins the northwestern edge in the form of a ridge. The crater floor is relatively flat and has no central elevation. It has a small, clearly recognizable crater near the western wall of the crater. Its wall is broken on the north side.
