And not the daystate sort

Don't know if anyone one here's been following stargazing live or not, this year their citizen science project has been looking for pulsars by means of viewers looking at wavy lines etc

Being a sad sort of chap I got quite in to this to the degree that middayish today I received an email from one of the presenters along the lines of don't tell anyone until after the program has aired but one of the images that you and several others identified has been confirmed as a pulsar and not only that but most likely one in a binary system

It turns out 30 odd of us noticed this one but (not that I'm blowing my own trumpet you understand

) could this be the AAOC's first astronomical discovery?
