We report on a 50 ks observation of the bright Seyfert 1 galaxy MCG-6-30-15 with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. The data clearly show the broad fluorescent iron line (equivalent width ~242 eV for the scenario in which the primary X-ray source is above the accretion disk subtending an angle of 2π sr), and the Compton reflection continuum at higher energies.
