Dobsonian

Hi,

just been looking at some skywatcher telescopes and I've noticed the huge price difference between dobsonian mounted scopes and EQ mounted of the same size.

Are dobsonians easy to track objects with? ( just for viewing,not photography) I have used an EQ mount before and find they are straight-forward once set up, but never tried a dob.

What are the pros & cons?

Thanks

Neil
