Brad asked if I had magnitude estimates for Ofek 7 (31601, 2007-025A -- Thank you, Leo!) and the Shavit launch vehicle (31602, 2007-025B). I was using the 12x60 at the time, and I'm less confident of magnitude estimates with those. They were comparable to Ofek 5 and its Shavit, although it did seem like Ofek 7 might have been a bit brighter - but maybe it was just due to the fullness of the phase angle. In my quicksat.mag file I have intrinsic magnitudes of 5.0 and 4.0 for Ofek 5 and its rocket, respectively. FWIW, Spacecom (or whatever they're called) spells it "Ofeq".
