But why do you need pointer to modify QList. You can modify it via reference 
as well.

sessionList returned refrerence to QList, not copy of QList. Compare:

// Return reference 
QList<SkyObject*>& sessionList() { return m_SessionList; }
// Return copy of object
QList<SkyObject*>  sessionList() { return m_SessionList; }

I just prefer references to pointers.
