Questions about this route
What do I need before I start?
A telescope. Nothing has to be bought in advance: the first course opens with what to choose and why.
How long will it take me?
There are 117 lessons, 22 h 14 min of video in all. At about 3 hours a week that is roughly 8 weeks, but the pace is yours: clear nights decide more than the calendar.
How long can I watch it, and is there a tutor?
You can stream every lesson for 18 months from when access starts. The lessons are recorded: there is no live tutor and no marking, and the videos cannot be downloaded.
