Ehrlich is an impact crater on the northern hemisphere at the back of the moon and therefore cannot be directly observed from Earth. It is about halfway between the Parsons crater in the south and the heavily eroded Guillaume crater in the north. Its surroundings are rocky and characterized by a large number of comparable impacts.
Honest is an eroded crater with features rounded off by the heavy bombardment. A pair of small craters adjoin the outer wall on its southern edge. The crater floor and the inner walls have no special features and are free from noticeable impacts.
