Dobsonian telescopes have many advantages, but tracking is not always easy. Especially as a beginner, it is sometimes difficult to slew and tilt the telescope slowly and evenly in the right direction to compensate for the Earth's rotation.
If you place the Dobson telescope on the EQ platform, the earth's rotation is compensated by a motor. Now you can enjoy observing objects even at high magnifications without them moving out of view too quickly. This also makes observing together with family and friends much easier.
