Any on line course is better than not doing it all.

I envy you, in the US you can study astronomy as a separate discipline, but not in germany, here it only is one one or two basic courses in the second part of studying physics. If it would be a separate disipline here, maybe my life would have run different, for it could have been that then I would have studied astronomy instead of psychology. Physics scared me away although I hold a high general interest in natural science, first because the plenty of time spend with basic mechanics does not intrest me (it seems to be the bigest chapüter in any physics book), and second: too much formulas and mathematics. I'm weak in doing these. My skills end beyond simple trigonometry, percentage calculations, the rule of three, and simple fractional arithmetic. the statistics courses at university left me only a theopretical understanding of the backgrounds. I would be unable to calculate a logarithm or a cluster analysis out of the blue.
