" With that said, if you do buy another telescope for your
sextant for lunars or other high-precision work, it is an excellent
idea, in my experience, too check that the telescope is properly
aligned when mounted on your sextant. One advantage of the inverting
Russian (Cho-T) scopes is that they can be aligned; most prism
telescopes cannot be aligned."

Why not? Is it something about the mounting? I'm not sure this is an
issue.
By the way, a lower-case Cyrillic H is still an H. So it's SNO-T or better
yet SNO-T, but surely not Cho-T.
