TL;DR: The Extreme-ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (EIT) as discussed by the authors provides wide-field images of the corona and transition region on the solar disc and up to 1.5 R⊙ above the solar limb.

TL;DR: The Sun Earth Connection Coronal and Heliospheric Investigation (SECCHI) is a five telescope package, which has been developed for the Solar Terrestrial Relation Observatory (STEREO) mission.

TL;DR: The STEREO spacecraft has two wide-angle visible-light imagers that incorporate sufficient baffling to eliminate scattered light to the extent that the passage of solar coronal mass ejections (CMEs) through the heliosphere can be detected as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The Extreme Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (EIT) on board the SOHO spacecraft has been operational since 2 January 1996 and has been used to observe the Sun over a 45 × 45 arc min field of view in four emission line groups: Fe IX, X, Fe XIIi, Fe xv, and He II.

TL;DR: In this paper, the first observations of the initiation of a coronal mass ejection (CME) seen on the disk of the Sun were presented, where the CME was initially associated with slow motions of prominence material and a small brightening at one end of the prominence.
