Tripod head recommendation

[Pixies]

Hi,

Can anyone here recommend a pan/tilt tripod head that is particularly good as a small telescope AltAz head? Something available second-hand would be my preference.

Looking to kill 2 birds with one stone, as the saying goes.

Do you already own a tripod? Only you can use a camera ball head was an altaz. Drop the ball into the groove mount telescope on side, seen it for small refractors.

I have an old Velbon, but about to get a 90 Mak and don't fancy the eq-1  that's coming with it.

It'll fit on my current tripod, but I'll be looking for a beefier one and wondering about a good head to match with it.

There's a suggestion on this thread

Is your mak coming with a dove bar or tube rings?

A standard tripod 1/4" fitting, I beleive. It's the old one with an eq-1
