Also the The Planetary Society did a course with Caltech a couple of years ago and the webcasts are still available HERE .
Both free
Hope this is of use.

Until you find the course you are looking for a great book is called "Astronomy For Dummies". don't let the title fool you it's a great book which I found very useful and I still refer to it from time to time.
