Sorry folks, I think you have your Phobos geography all tangled up. The clearly visible crater is Hall at the south pole, north is at left, Stickney is at the bottom, essentially invisible because the sun is shining straight into it. I will post a comparison image later when I can get to it. (turn that Viking image 180 degrees for an idea of what you're seeing, except the illumination is different)
