The EQ refers to the "equatorial mount" which is something that you are going to need t if you want to use this telescope for looking at the Moon, Jupiter & other planets. The reason that these low-cost refractors are recommended as opposed to a reflector is that most people want their first beginner telescope to give them a more delightful view of the Planets like Saturn's rings, Moon, Jupiter and some of its Moon without having to drive far from the city. When the OTA is pointed at the zenith, the users head is positioned to be placed in a much more comfortable posture by the usage of its diagonal positioning. The optical tube and the mount is also firmly supported by the (adjustable height) stainless steel tripod. It also comes with a tripod tray to support your accessories and hold your tripod in place while reducing vibrations. The Al-Azmuth is typically used for large aperture and low-powered telescopes where the Earth's rotation does not matter.
