A very popular target with amateur astronomers, Tycho is located at 43.37*S, 348.68*E, and is about 51 miles (82 km) in diameter. The summit of the central peak is 1.24 miles (2 km) above the crater floor. The distance from Tycho&rsquo;s floor to its rim is about 2.92 miles (4.7 km). Tycho crater&rsquo;s central peak complex, shown here, is about 9.3 miles (15 km) wide, left to right (southeast to northwest in this view).
