Hubelmatt Observatory
Hubelmatt Observatory (Template:Langx) is an astronomical observatory in Lucerne, Switzerland, billeted at the city's Hubelmatt West School. Built in 1979, it is operated by the Astronomical Society of Lucerne (Template:Langx).[1]
On 12 February 2017, the inner main-belt asteroid 6126 Hubelmatt, discovered by Zdeňka Vávrová at Kleť Observatory, was named in honor of the observatory and its hosting school. (M.P.C.
