Default Astronomy class materials

I teach several courses at RIT, both at the introductory, survey level, and at a more advanced level for students who have taken a couple of years of physics and math. All my course material is already available freely. The astronomy courses are

(intro level) Stellar Astronomy

(intro level) Extragalactic Astronomy (a bit out of date, alas)
http://spiff.rit.edu/classes/phys240/phys240.html

(a bit more math) Astronomy for science majors
http://spiff.rit.edu/classes/phys301/phys301.html

(lots and lots of math and calculus) Stellar Astrophysics
http://spiff.rit.edu/classes/phys440/phys440.html

Observational Astronomy
