There are many helpful people in the Astronomical Community. It has been my experience that Astronomers in general want to help people in their understanding of our shared universe. In particular I enjoyed doing a short online course. In order to assist others I put together a set of my study notes which I am happy to share with you. Just click the file below and read the Access the universe.pdf file. There is also another set of notes which I wrote to help people who are new to the hobby called Astronomy for beginners.pdf These two articles offer an introduction to Astronomy.
