A conventional spectrometer equipped with a Reticon photodiode array as a detector was used to demonstrate the applicability of such arrays to accurate stellar spectrophotometry. Spectra were obtained at 42-A resolution from 4650 to 10,000 A. High SNRs were obtainable to 10 mag, with typical integration times of a few minutes. Tests on Alpha Lyrae demonstrate the resultant flux distributions to be reduced to the absolute flux scale to within + or - 0.025 mag (standard deviation of a single observation) in zero point and internally precise to + or - 0.003 mag.
