--(4786) Tatianina--discovery and notes:

Primary discovered 13 August 1985 by N. S. Chernykh from Nauchnyj, but subsequently linked to prediscovery observations to 1948. Additional designations 1985 PE2, 1948 GA, 1970 KF, 1984 EV1, and 1984 FM1.

Secondary discovered from analysis of lightcurve observations made in 2006; reported 11 April 2006.
