Representative total brightness (TB) snapshots of the CME and of the WL ray as observed by COR2A, LASCO C2 and COR2B (upper, middle and lower panel respectively). Pre-event TB images taken at 01:27:13 UT (C2) and 09:22:00 UT (COR2A-B) were subtracted from each C2, COR2A, and COR2B frame. The C2 field of view spans 2.2−6 R_⊙ and the COR2A-B view spans 2.5−15 R_⊙. The temporal evolution of the top, middle and bottom panels is shown in movie2.mpg, movie3.mpg and movie4.mpg, respectively.
