Scientific paper

The SECCHI instrument suite aboard the STEREO mission will allow us to follow a coronal mass ejection (CME) continuously from the Sun to Earth for the first time. The comparison of the CME emission among the various instruments is not as easy as one might think. This is because the telescopes record the Thomson scattered emission from the CME plasma which has a rather sensitive dependence on the geometry between the observer and the scattering material. Here, we will describe the proper treatment of the Thomson scattered emission, compare the CME brightness over a large range of elongation angles and discuss the implications for observations.
