Schickard is a lunar impact crater of the form called a walled plain. It lies in the southwest sector of the Moon, near the lunar limb. As a result, the crater appears oblong due to foreshortening. T. W. Webb called this crater "an enormous plain" that "is encircled by a complex wall"; "the interior is nearly level, but its colour strongly varied".
