Optical observations of Coronal Mass Ejections (CME's) during the past several decades have generally been confined to events observed near the sun. Although events originating from most regions of the sun can be observed, the assumption is often made that the CME is propagating in the plane-of-the-sky. This assumption is generally adequate to give lower limits of CME mass and speed. However, observations of CME's are now being made further from the sun by SMEI and in the future by the SECCHI instrument on STEREO which is scheduled for launch later this year. When the CME is observed at great distances from the sun, plane-of-the-sky assumptions are not adequate for analysis of these events. In this presentation we will discuss some of the impacts of geometry on the observations of intensity and velocity.
