Alter is a Lunar Impact Crater that is located in the northern Hemisphere on the Far Side of the Moon . It lies to the southwest of the larger Robertson Crater , and to the east of Ohm Crater .

The outer rim of Alter crater has been degraded by subsequent erosion, most notably at the northern and southern extremes. There is a small crater lying across the south-southeast rim. A cleft runs across the floor from the southern rim toward the north-northeast. Ray material cross the crater floor from the east, forming a pair of faint bands.
