Hello fellow stargazers! Has anyone out there shortened the legs of their giant tripod which accompanies the 12 and 14 inch scopes? I would like to trade up from my 10" but am intimidated by the size and am moderately height challenged at 5'8" and have balance issues. It would be nice to have both feet on the ground!

Ted,
Really, you would think it was made for the Basketball team or something!
