Eauatorial or German Mount

[RalphLambrecht]

is any body aware of an equatorial aka German mount for a tripod to do astrophotography?

An equatorial mount usually comes with the telescope.

For a camera look for a "star tracker."

There are quite a few designed for cameras that you just fit to your tripod -ranging from budget to astronomical pricing.

Best bet would be to ask a local stargazer shop, or astronomy group.

seems like a good suggestion, but from the pictures, I can't figure out how this is an equatorial mount following star rotation. If this works, my 3-way Neiger should also work.
