Everyone asks "isn't it hard to keep up with tracking on a Dob?"
The simple reply is, if it was why are there so many?
John Dobson built the scope to be used, not stuck in a cupboard.
It's a simple Newtonian, so you look through the side at the top.
You don't need much more than a planisphere, a reasonable sky atlas, the scope and a red torch to enjoy the pleasure of astronomy, but you can also do it with a lot less (e.g. a pair of binocs & a planisphere).
