The MAGIC telescope has been designed for observation of the Cerenkov light generated in Extensive Air Showers. However, its 17 m. diameter and optical design makes it suitable for optical observations of varying astronomical objects. We report here on the installation of a dedicated photo-multiplier (PMT) for optical observations placed at the center of the MAGIC camera (the so-called central pixel). An electro-optical system has been developed in order to transmit through optical fiber the output signal to the counting room, where it is digitalized and stored for off-line analysis. The system was tested by observing the optical pulsation from the Crab pulsar. The results of the tests and the possibilities of the system will be presented here.
