It looks like it suffers from "vibration" or a double image... something
is wrong. Any ideas.

I don't see anything I would describe that way. The Sun was only 38°
above the horizon, so the low-relief terrain has a sort of embossed
look. Maybe that's what you are seeing?

The full resolution image of the hole,

shows details around the edge very clearly, with no sign of any imaging
problems.
