EQ Mount what would be suitable

Hi Folks

Now that i have this huge square hunk of steel to stick into the ground, which will be my new peir, could anybody please suggest what would be the best heavy duty equatorial head i could put on it.

My scope without any accessories attached weighs a little over 16.5 kg's
but will probably weigh more with camera etc.

The scope is home built 200mm F7 Reflector, and due to that the bits and pieces to construct it would weigh more than commercially purchased parts.

i do want a mount that can be used for astro-photography, and it should be of good quality.

So what do other people use, your advice whould be much appreciated.

Thanks....Leon
