I'll go back to my course notes. Was done over Email by the Amateur Astronomy Foundation, a gentleman called Surjit Wadhwa. Person came, I think, from the Wollongong area. The course was really good probably equivalent to a first semester university "Intro to Astronomy" style course, or better.
Stared with the Earth and its complete history since the Big Bang, then into Astronomy history starting with the Babylonians to today, then the Planets and their attributes winding up with stars, their structures and types and an intro to Black Holes and beyond.
Have tried unsuccessfully Googling person and Foundation but it is 4 years since I did the course and things obviously have changed.
If any other members know of person's current address I'd love to get it so I can complete the last assignment which was to write an original piece for the journal History of Astronomy by carrying out an Astronomical trial/experiment with some degree of difficulty for an amateur. I was planning on recreating one of Tycho Brahe larger instruments but simply didn't have the time to do so.
Now I do and would like this man's help.
