I thought the great courses DVDs looked pretty good, I had planned to get those and a good telescope for my DD until I found the honors academy at the local state university.
My DD is now taking Astronomy for dual credit and I am really curious to learn what they do in the labs since most of them are held during the day. So far she has only had one lab due to the weather causing school cancellations - and that lab was the introduction class so not much happened.
I wish I had known earlier about the option for home-school dual credit classes at the university, they really don't advertise but its a great deal, only $50.00 per credit and they have access to a a great observatory. Maybe she could try something like that?
