Observed the recently launched GPS IIR-05 (#26407) and
the transfer orbit rocket (#26409) at 8:47 and 8:43 UT
respectively on 18 Jul 2000 from Falcon, CO USA using
and 8 inch telescope.

The GPS was around magnitude 10 and the rocket about 0.5
magnitude fainter.  I did not detect any obvious magnitude
fluctuations during the short viewing period.

At an approximate range of 6090 km, this would give a 
standard magnitude of 6.5 for the GPS.
