I've 'tracked' satellites using the 80mm f5 by hand. Easier with the wide feild of view of course but there isn't much to see, just a bright dot. I have done it in the 10" f5 with a 20mm SV EP, hand pushed but it is not easy but sometimes a bit more detail, eg solar panels can be seen.
Binocs are best for satellites really ... and a sun lounger. You get to see more sporadic meteors that way as well.
