Parenago is an impact crater on the Moon's far side, behind the eastern limb. Nearly attached to the east-southeastern outer rim of Parenago is the crater Berkner. To the south-southwest lies Comrie.
This is a worn and eroded crater formation. Attached to the northern outer rim are the satellite craters Parenago W and Parenago Z. Three small craters lie prominently along the edge of the inner wall in the southeast quadrant of the interior floor. The floor is otherwise relatively level and is marked by only a few tiny crater-lets.
Prior to formal naming by the IAU in 1970,Parenago, Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature, International Astronomical Union (IAU) Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature (WGPSN) Parenago was called Crater 173.Lunar Farside Chart (LFC-1A), 2nd Edition October 1967
Satellite craters By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Parenago.
