is a
Lunar Crater that lies along the northeast edge of
Mare Nectaris in the eastern part of the
Moon 's near side. Just to the east are the
Montes Pyrenaeus mountain chain, and to the northeast beyond the mountains is
Gutenberg Crater . Northwest of Gaudibert is the crater pair
Isidorus -
Capella .
This crater has a low rim and an irregular interior that makes it a relatively inconspicuous formation. The rim is roughly circular but somewhat uneven in outline. On the inner floor are several ridges that divide up the interior into several minor peaks and valleys. A pair of tiny, bowl-shaped craters are attached to the southern edge of the crater rim.
To the south of Gaudibert is a formation of several
Ghost-craters , of which the most notable are 'Gaudibert A' and 'Gaudibert B'. These are best viewed when the sun is at a low angle, resulting in greater contrast and shadows.
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Gaudibert crater.
