Abstract
Backer et al. have reported the discovery of a pulsar with the period of 1.558 ms, identified with the source 1937 + 214 (=4021.53). The extreme rotational velocity and high energy loss rate of this object make it a very interesting astrophysical phenomenum not only as an important clue for the physics of neutron stars and supernova remnants, but also as a potential strong emitter of gravitational radiation (S. White and J. Arons, personal communication). I present here an optical identification candidate for the millisecond pulsar: it is a 20th mag red object, undetectable on the Palomar Sky Survey prints. Finding charts and offsets from nearby stars are given.
