"Fast Photometry on ASAS-SN 16kt?

Hi Y'all,

I'm working with a collaboration of observers and theorists to test a 
recent theoretical prediction of Ken Shen's---that novae should show fast 
periodic oscillations in their optical light curves, if gravity waves help 
expel the envelope.

I'm wondering if any of you have access to a high-speed photometer (Say a 
photo-multiplier tube) and could observe this target for an hour or two? 
even exposure times as long as 1 second would be useful, although several 
exposures per second would be better.

Thanks!

Laura Chomiuk"
