Reprocessing old data from 2020 with a little bit more knowledge I hope.
This is a very tough object to process. Even with 33 hours total integration time the signal is still extremely low.
Really not sure if I could have done better with this data. I achieved the best result with a masked stretch followed by several small GHS stretches. But garbage in is always garbage out :-)
This object is also interesting because of the Pulsar PSR J0002+6216 know as the Cannonball Pulsar which was discovered 2017 by the Einstein@Home project. It is one of the fastest known pulsars travelling at a velocity exceeding 1000 km/s.
The motion is of the right magnitude and direction to support the claim that PSR J0002+6216 was born from the same supernova that produced CTB 1.
