Abstract
A SEARCH was made for optical flashes from PSR 0833–45 on the nights of March 17 to 20, 1969, using the 74-inch Radcliffe telescope with a pulse counting photometer built at Cambridge and previously used in observations of the Crab nebula pulsar1. A multichannel analyser made available by the South African Atomic Energy Board was used to record the data, and the timing equipment was provided by the Atomic Energy Research Establishment, Harwell.
