The High Energy Neutral Atom instrument (HENA; see Mitchell et al., 2000) on the IMAGE spacecraft has, for more than a year, returned energetic neutral atom images of the Earth's ring current during magnetic storms. Recent analysis of the pulse-height data has indicated that hydrogen ENA may be separated from oxygen ENA on the basis of their microchannel plate pulse-height, combined with the measured particle velocity. Taking advantage of this analysis, the HENA team generated a new version of the HENA flight software, which now enables the instrument to form ENA images separately for hydrogen and for oxygen. We will show first results from HENA demonstrating this new capability, which should permit us to follow the global dynamics of hydrogen and oxygen independently throughout a storm.
