The Southern Cross Astronomical Society
The Southern Cross Astronomical Society, founded in 1922, is one of the oldest amateur astronomical societies in the Western Hemisphere. It's founder, Mr. S. Lynn Rhorer, established the first observatory with his 5" Clark refractor at the Royal Palm Hotel & Park near the Miami River. He attracted a growing group of amateur astronomers who offered free viewing and instruction to the public. The renowned astronomer, Dr. Harlow Shapley, visited the new observatory and marveled at our view of the constellation Crux,The Southern Cross, and suggested this name for the newly formed observatory.
