EDIT: I just realised that this is a resurrected old thread from 2012 - nevertheless, Coursera is worth a look for anyone who is looking at doing some personal study in Astronomy-related fields.
(Or just about anything, really. I recently enrolled in an undergraduate course on "The Influence of The Beatles on Modern Music", but had to drop it after a month or so, due to changing work commitments. My teenage daughters took great delight in referring to me as a "Beatle-School Dropout" - fans of the musical "Grease" will understand the reference!
