I don't know of any of the Celestron mounts that retain alignment if you release the clutches. As far as I am aware all of them have the encoders on the motors only so if you release a clutch after the electronics are aligned then the system does not keep track of where it is pointed.
It is the main reason I remounted my scope on a mount with dual encoders, I wanted to be able to manually point without loosing alignment.
