I will second what Raymo said Andrew,
Yes, all dobs are on an AZ mount because their base rotates and controls the azimuth and the pivot in the middle of the tube controls the altitude. A dob without the dob base and pivot is just another Newtonian OTA, and you can mount that OTA on an eq mount, computerised goto AZ mount or a dob mount.
There are a number of apps that allows you to track and identify objects in the sky, and you can get a smart phone bracket to mount on your mount or scope to help as well.
