That's quite all right.
There are many types of scopes and the choice of which one to use is personal.
I prefer an EQ mount myself because they represent actual space and time much more closely than a computer driven Alt/Az. And if your batteries run out in the field you can lock the object in declination and easily follow it manually in RA.
That said an, EQ mount becomes impractical for a scope this size for the ameture because of observatory size required and price.
