NexStar 6se and SkySafari and SkyPortal: Hibernate

Just one more question:

I have been working in detail through the SkySafari 6 Pro "manual" and was wondering about the HIBERNATE function. Presumably it works pretty much as described and also as described in the NexStar manual - ie. it saves its alignment data before powering down, so that if you WAKE UP the scope, it is still aligned?

So does it make sense, if you never move your mount, to ALWAYS hibernate before powering off?

Does the mount / SkySafari also retain the location and date / time when hibernating?

If you WAKE UP the scope (say) three nights or a week later, will it still be aligned? That is, the aligment doesn't "age" in any sense?

Regards: Paul
