Hi Sky

I have a telescope now but haven't used it due to lousy weather and too light nights.

Anyway there is another free astronomy program called Cartes du Ciel

http://www.ap-i.net/skychart/start

The above link is for version 3. There is an earlier version too.

I use it on my netbook as it doesn't require the high graphics that Stellarium does. In fact for skuy mapping it is better as it is clearer.

I have both versions installed and it is very good.

As for online classes I haven't a clue.
