Videoing the Crab Pulsar

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone here has managed to video the pulsar at the heart of the Crab Nebula: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crab_Pulsar

It emits in the optical range, which is very unusual for a pulsar. The pulsar is magnitude 16.5, so within reach of the aperture range of larger amateur telescopes (16"+). The pulsar also rotates every 33 milliseconds, so should be imageable at 60 FPS or so, even better with the faster planetary cameras.
