    1373 Cincinnati, provisional designation 1935 QN, is an asteroid of the outer main-belt, discovered by the famous American astronomer Edwin Hubble at Mount Wilson Observatory on August 30, 1935. It was his only asteroid discovery.

    The X-type asteroid has an extremely inclined, cometary-like orbit of 39 degrees to the ecliptic.[1][5] Cincinnati is similar to the Cybele asteroids.[6]

    Recommended by the Minor Planet Center, the asteroid is named after the Cincinnati Observatory, whose staff provided most of the orbit computations.[1]
