The COMPLETE (COordinated Molecular Probe Line Extinction and Thermal Emission) Survey of Star Forming Regions provides a wealth of public data for multi-wavelength analysis of several nearby molecular cloud complexes. Cloudshine, which is the diffuse interstellar radiation field reflecting off dust within dark clouds, provides a unique way to examine the density structure of molecular cores (both protostellar and starless) on arcsecond scales without the complications of chemistry present in molecular line observations. We discuss the comparison of cloudshine observations in Perseus and Ophiuchus to models of turbulence in molecular clouds, and describe how these observations may be used with other COMPLETE data to probe the dust to gas ratio and optical properties of dust on small spatial scales.
