He also founded the first Astronomical Society of Greece on the island of Corfu. He was also one of the founders of the publication Ουρανία (Urania) and his articles were also published in L'Astronomie. He collaborated with countless Greek astronomers namely Theodore Stephanides whom he proposed to name a crater on the Moon after. He also gave Jean Focas his early astronomical education. Félix published a detailed map of the Moon in 1955. The crater Lamèch on the Moon is named after him."
