    1989 Tatry (1955 FG) is a main-belt asteroid discovered on March 20, 1955 by A. Paroubek and R. Podstanicka at Skalnate Pleso Observatory. Photometric measurements of the asteroid made in 2005 at the Palmer Divide Observatory showed a light curve with a period of 39.9 ± 0.1 hours and a brightness variation of below 0.22 ± 0.02 in magnitude. However, the data was incomplete, so the period is considered suspect.[1] Further measurements made in 2007 at the Modra Observatory in Slovakia showed a much longer period of 131.3 ± 0.2 hours with a brightness variation of 0.5 in magnitude.[2]
