Scientific paper

A 20th magnitude red object, undetectable on the Palomar Sky Survey prints, is proposed as an optical identification candidate for the millisecond pulsar. The image containing the object was obtained from three CCD exposures, one of 300 s and two of 600 s, which were filtered to remove cosmic ray events, offset into coincidence, and digitally stacked together to increase the signal-to-noise ratio. The part of the resulting image containing the object is shown, and several stars in the field are listed. The procedure for locating the optical candidate is described; the candidate is about one sigma error box from the radio position.
