Yep the AZ EQ6 retains its alignment when you undo the clutches and move the scope manually.
I have been using EQMOD and Stallarium on my laptop, and when you undo clutches and move the scope, the little target showing the scope position on Stellarium follows. This shows that the encoders keep track of position even with the clutches undone.
This is usually in EQ mode, but when I have used it with the hand control in AZ mode, alignment wasn't messed up by undoing the clutches either.
