Innes is an impact crater on the back of the moon and therefore can not be directly observed from Earth . It is less than 40 kilometers east-southeast of the striking Seyfert crater . Other notable craters in the area are Meggers in the southeast and the Polzunov crater in the west-southwest direction .
The formation of Innes shows hardly any traces of erosion and is clearly recognizable. The outline is essentially circular in shape with a slight bulge on the west side. The inner crater walls have slipped in places and have formed some smaller terraces. Apart from a few tiny craters, the bottom of the crater has no remarkable features.
