Hubelmatt Observatory (German: Sternwarte Hubelmatt) 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 (German: Astronomische Gesellschaft Luzern).[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. 103029).[1][2] This was an additional reward for suggesting the winning names "Helvetios" and "Dimidium" for 51 Pegasi and its exoplanet, respectively, as part of the 2015 NameExoWorlds contest.[3]
