I'm not 100% sure I know what you mean by "tracking". If you mean an autoguiding setup, then no, it's absolutely unnecessary.

If you mean a sidereal drive that simply follows the sky as the earth rotates, then again, no; you can do it manually, but it's a hell of a lot less fiddly if you do have some sort of motorised mount.
