BRIEF DESCRIPTION.
29.1_N_114.6_E_
Seyfert is a prominent lunar impact crater located on the lunar Far Side. It lies behind the eastern limb of the Moon to the east of the crater Espin. Just to the north of Seyfert is the crater Harriot and equally close to the south is Polzunov. The outer rim of Seyfert is slightly elongated to the north, and the northeastern rim is overlain by the satellite crater Seyfert A. This overlapping impact crater has a central ridge on its interior floor. There is a low ridge near the midpoint of Seyfert, but it is less prominent. The inner wall of Seyfert is wider along the northern edge, west of Seyfert A. Several small craters lie along the rim and interior of Seyfert, including a merged group of small craters along the eastern inner wall, a small crater intruding into the southeastern rim, and a pair of small craters along the southern rim of Seyfert A. The interior floor of Seyfert is relatively level, and is marked by a number of tiny craterlets. Traces of the ray system from Giordano Bruno  (Section 84) to the northwest lie along the rim and interior floor of Seyfert. (Most of the data for this area was taken from wikipedia.org.  However, this Ridge Section was created by Francis Ridge and Ned Haskin of the Lunascan Project).
