Nowadays, this is the main difference between Dobsonians and other Newtonian reflectors. The mount is much easier to use for amateur astronomers. This is opposed to the typical equatorial mounts that are used with other telescopes (most other reflectors use GEMs, or German Equatorial Mounts).
Two of the most popular terms that you’re going to hear when people are referring to their telescopes are Dobsonian and Reflector.
You need to know what type of telescope you’re getting. So, it’s important that you do some research online prior to purchasing a telescope. If you’re just getting interested in astronomy, then all of the different terms that they use can be extremely confusing.
