Good solid ball head
As a general rule I don't really like ball heads and rarely use them if there is any other option. It's usually too hard to accurately aim the camera and lock it in place without having it sag when you let go of it, losing your aim point.
For most purposes I prefer a standard three way head like the very sturdy Manfrotto #3047, or for when I want to be able to follow moving subjects, a gimbal head like the moderately priced Movo GH700 MK II. (You can pay a lot more, and probably get some advantages, but this one works for me and my budget.)
The exception is for mounting the camera on a start tracker which is in turn mounted on a geared head. In that case the ball head can stay locked in place because you're making the adjustments with the geared head.
I'm using this one with a K&F Concept three way geared head and an iOptron Skytracker Pro. and the main problem I'm having is not enough clear nights!
