Lunar surface depression
Feature on the moon
Boguslawsky
is a
lunar
impact crater
that is located near the southern lunar limb, to the northwest of the slightly larger crater
Demonax
, and southwest of the concentric crater
Boussingault
. Due to its location, this crater appears very oblong in shape because of foreshortening.

The floor of this crater is flooded and relatively featureless. The rim is somewhat worn and relatively low above the surrounding surface. The crater Boguslawsky D lies across the eastern rim.
The crater was named after German astronomer
Palm Heinrich Ludwig von Boguslawski
.

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Boguslawsky.
