Tripods - What's everyone using?

What's everyone using for tripods for Astrophotography mode?

Haven't really seen anything I really liked on Amazon.

Thanks!

I use either an old camera tripod with a clamp adapter (don't ask me which tripod - it's so old, the company probably went out of business long before the end of the 20th century) or my telescope with an adapter, if I want to follow the sky and not get star trails. (It can mount the phone behind the lens, taking deep telephoto shots, or in front of it, taking normal shots, but with a motorized mount. [Hand made, so I can't link to it, but it's easy enough to drill 3 holes near the end of the tube and mount a spider that can hold a phone mount.])

I have a tripod I purchased for a mini projector, from amazon, seems to do the trick! Seems stable too, I set the timer for 3 seconds just to make sure there's no vibrations after the shutter press.

And a phone mount,
