Interesting! it appears to be some kind of "secondary order"...I hope
someone wise/experienced can shed more light on this.
the diffraction spots appear to fall consistently in the middle of the
hexagonal(ish) grid lines, so it must be some partial order effect
related to the unit cell.
do you also see this with data collected from an unfrozen crystal? if
so, it is a crystal property.
you also appear to have quite strong solvent/ice rings, in any case I
would optimise the cryo-protection/freezing procedure.
