The Second Generation Optimized Fabry Perot Doppler Imager (SOFDI), a state-of-the-art triple-etalon Fabry Perot interferometer capable of making day and night wind and temperature measurements, is soon to be deployed to Huancayo, Peru along with the Cornell all-sky imager (CASI) in support of the C/NOFS satellite. We present an overview of the contribution SOFDI and CASI will make towards the C/NOFS science goals by presenting nighttime results of 630-nm OI emission observations taken in upstate New York during the September 2005 storm period. Fortunately, this occurred during a World Day and data is available from several ISR sites. The auroral oval extended to the SOFDI test site where the winds and temperatures were measured. A sharp structure at the equatorward edge of the diffuse aurora was recorded. The curious temperature structure suggests a large scale TID. Indeed, there is some evidence for a large-scale TID in the Millstone Hill and Wallops Island HmF2 measurements.
