Cygnus X-2 was observed with EXOSAT at five phases of a single orbital cycle in September of 1983. We will summarize the results of spectral fits of the LE + ME (Argon) data in terms of a superposition of thermal bremstrahlung and blackbody components. During the first observation a grating spectrum was obtained and this is described in some detail. The GSPC data are used to investigate the presence of iron features, and their behavior during dips.
