Newly processed data from STEREO/SECCHI offer a glimpse into the development of turbulence in the heliospheric current sheet and the slow solar wind. Careful background subtraction yields photometrically calibrated images of "moving feature excess density" throughout the inner heliosphere near the plane of the ecliptic. We report on initial work extracting the structure function of dense features via remote sensing of the Thomson scattered sunlight from free electron clouds in the inner heliosphere. Precise imaging results of this type show promise in enabling extraction of quantitative information about interplanetary turbulence from direct imaging.
