The Paragon-Plus XHD is a workhorse tripod with excellent stability and nice features for various adjustments. I use it for my Canon 50D SLR and have to say that it is very rugged and rigid. I am hoping to use it for my Orion telescope also.
Yes, I recommend this product!

The Orion 1.25" Astrophotography Flip Mirror is a real time saver. It allows you to find and focus your target visually through an eyepiece instead of by tediously taking pictures. Focus through the eyepiece, then flip the mirror for photographing.

The 1.25" Variable Universal Camera Adapter slides into the telescope focuser and connects to a camera t-ring for prime-focus or eyepiece-projection photography. The sliding barrel design lets you vary the magnification without changing eyepieces.
