Hi Mike,

Good question.

I have been working on the schedule with the instructors. It should be ready for posting in the next week or so. Please be advised that there will be no courses scheduled in January because of our website update and uncertainty on if or how the forums could be affected.

Best regards,
Sara

Hi, what about an Introduction to Spectroscopy course? 

And a Solar Observation Course?

Second that! I would

Second that! I would especially like to see a course about Interpreting or understanding a spectrum. What is the significance of such things as Balmer lines for instance, and how do you spot them?

PayPal error

Hi, I tried to enroll in two courses: "How to use VStar" and "Photometry using VPhot". I had no problems with the first one, but when I tried to pay the subscription on the second I received this error message from PayPal:

PayPal cannot process this transaction because of a problem with the seller's website. Please contact the seller directly to resolve this problem.

Can someone from AAVSO help me?

PayPal error

Hi Ivaldo,

There does indeed seem to be a problem with the PayPal button associated with the "Photometry using VPhot" CHOICE course. Unfortunately, the person who can fix this is on vacation this week, but he should be able to take care of it when he gets back. Fortunately, the course doesn't begin until September.

Many thanks for letting us know about this problem and for your patience.

With best regards,
Sara
