For giggles I took the Astronomy DSST cold and passed it. Does anyone know of a cheap online Astronomy Lab course?

Not sure of the price, but Univ of Idaho IS has an Astronomy Lab. The price for a regular 3-cr course is $510, so I'm thinking the lab is $170 or so.

I took the Astronomy DSST and paired it with the Idaho Independent Study Astronomy lab mentioned above. It is PHYS 1153. It has 5 graded labs (online, using things like virtual telescopes - no lab kit required) and a proctored exam. I don't know if the policy has changed, but at that time, the proctored exam was not administered online, so I took it at my local community college testing center. Give yourself several weeks for this course (at least six or so) not because of the difficulty of the content but because of waiting for grading.
I don't know what the future holds, but I know Who holds the future.
