Steve K. has the Blue Shift. One foot broke completely away, and it looks like the bolt is a tad askew. Another foot has broken and will come off shortly. The feet were drilled through the wood grain direction. If I still have the pieces of the one broken foot I'll fashion three new feet that should last longer. Pushing the telescope puts a lot of strain on those feet--it is better to have someone help lift and move it. Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo
