Daguerre is a circular formation near the north end ofMare Nectaris. To the west-northwest is the craterMädler, and beyond it to the west is the prominentTheophilus. To the north in the rugged continental area between themaria isIsidorus.

This feature has the appearance of alunarimpact crater that has been nearly submerged by alava flow, leaving a gap in the southwest wall that gives the feature the shape of ahorse-shoe. The floor is overlaid by the linearray from Mädler. The maximum altitude of the surviving rim is 1.5 km.

The crater was named after French artist and photographerLouis Daguerre in 1935.^[1]

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