Pls sugget a ballhead

I have now a Swar STS 80 HD, UCA, and Gh1. I need a new ball head that can hold well and command a movement control. Please make recommendation(s). Thanks.

Manfrotto 501HDV video head (& those in the same series) are very good for telescopes. steady and easy to control. But you need a good tripod as they are quite heavy.
Ball heads are not very good for telescopes because they don't usually offer slow/fine adjustment of viewing angles.
