Abstract
It is shown that the secondary diffraction maxima around a spectral line can be easily photographed under proper conditions. The relative intensities usually do not even approximately agree with Lord Rayleigh's simple theory, indicating that the lenses used in modern spectrographs introduce peculiar forms of aberration. The practical difficulties introduced by the peculiar intensities are discussed.Keywords
