Default Detecting the flashes from the Crab Nebula Pulsar

This may be a case for the long-forgotten art of the mechanical strobe
disk, eliminating the need for rapid readout or 100% efficiency.
That's how the pulsar was first identified with a particularly
optical object, using an intensified TV camera. Getting the timing
and phasing right are left as exercises for folks who (unlike me)
know how to do it.
