O.k............here are some lousy shots done with an el-cheapo point and shoot digital camera.
Even though I am a fully qualified professional photographer(retired), I pulled out of the business as film was becoming hard to get, so I never purchased a high end digital SLR.

I can say that taking a photograph of spectra with such a poorly made device and camera (a good photographer allways blames his equipment),was EXTREMELY difficult.
The camera's tiny telescopic lens had to be angled and zoomed in just right to even obtain any image at all. On top of that was trying different settings in the auto focus mode etc

The shots will show a spectra that looks ten times worse than seen through the eye............and that is not an excuse to cover up the DVD spectroscope's ''true capability''.

You will see that the far red line has failed to appear. The yellow is poor compared to visual appearnce.
I guess this is the camera's I.R. cut filter responsible for this

Anyhow.........here they are:
