Based on Lunar Orbiter IV images we have some reliable measurements.
The crater itself is about 100Km diameter.
At south-west there is Montes Teneriffe, its elevation was of 2.4Km and a base diameter of 112 Km, at the right the Plato rimae (incomplete in the picture)

Internally we have the big four

A = 1.7 miles (2.7 km)
B = 1.5 miles (2.4 km)
C = 1.5 miles (2.4 km)
D = 1.3 miles (2.1 km)

+1 on the west-northwest wall
W = 2.0 miles (3.2 km)

The “Little Four”
e = 1.2 miles (1.9 km)
f = 1.0 miles (1.6 km)
g = 0.94 miles (1.5 km)
h = 1.4 x 0.8 miles (2.2 x 1.3 km)

The “Tiny Nine”
i = 0.7 miles (1.2 km)
j = 0.6 miles (1.0 km)
k = 0.7 miles (1.3 km)
l = 0.6 miles (1.0 km)
m = 0.7 miles (1.2 km)
n = 0.7 miles (1.1 km)
o = 0.7 miles (1.1 km) (double craterlet)
p = 0.7 miles (triple craterlet)
q = 0.6 miles (1.0 km) (double overlapping crater)

This panel is a mosaic of 2 sequences. Each sequence is of 100 shoots. This kind of processing emphasizes the weak coloring of minerals.

This is for sure one of the most beautiful view of the moon, Plato on the left and the vallis alpes on the right.

It has a diameter of 100Km, the central crater is only of 10Km, it is one of the shorter crater with only 1.3Km of depth.

A curiosity is that this valley was discovered in 1727 by Francesco Bianchini and has magmatic origin

Copernicus is for sure one of the most photographed craters on the moon, 93 Km of diameter has ‘only’ 800 million years old. The central peak is only 1.3Km and is one of the most studied create by the NASA.

Tycho is a small crater of 85Km in the south of the moon, The central mountain is taller than 2Km, some interesting details of the elevation can be found here

Clavius is for sure one of the most photographed subjects on the moon, 230Km of diameter it is dedicated to Christopher Clavius a mathematician of XV century. It appears stretched due to his meridian position and it is one of the oldest know craters.

An unusual good night, this panel was composed by 3 shoots each of 15K frames. Only the 20% of the frames was selected.

Many famous crater are visible, the are was between Mare cognitum , Mare vaporum and Mare Ibrium. In the middle the beautiful Montes Apenninus with the Erathostenes, Archimedes and Manilus craters. In the bottom Plato crater.
