Abstract: The ASTRA Cassegrain Spectrophotometer is now working in a manual mode on the 0.40-m telescope of the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory, Victoria, BC, Canada. It is the first spectrophotometer, built in 40 years, designed to measure in detail the optical energy distributions of stars with high precision. It is the first to use a black-illuminated UV-coated CCD as its detector. An overview of the instrument and plans for the next few years will be given.
