Vogel is a small lunar impact crater located to the southeast of Albategnius crater. It is the smallest member of a trio of craters that increase in size from north to south, consisting of the Vogel, Argelander and Airy craters. To the west is the remnant of the Parrot crater.

Both the north and south ends of the Vogel crater rim are interrupted by smaller craters. Crater Vogel B to the north is overlain in turn along its northern rim by an even smaller crater, thus forming a cluster of interconnected craters with Vogel being the largest. The rim of Vogel is otherwise relatively intact and not significantly worn.

Satellite craters

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Vogel crater.
