The BL Lac 1H1426+428 has a redshift of 0.129 and was recently discovered as a TeV gamma source with the Whipple Cherenkov telescope. We have re-analysed the data used in this discovery to extract further spectral information. Due to the weakness of the signal, the spectrum cannot be determined with high accuracy but even a rough comparison with the spectra of the two brightest northern-hemisphere blazars, Mkn 421 and Mkn 501, around 500 GeV yields important clues to the magnitude of gamma-ray absorption in the cosmic infrared background.
