As Dennis says - use your hand controller to move around so that you don't lose reference to your star alignment once achieved. If you unlock either clutch to slew manually, this will be lost and you'll have to perform another alignment procedure - unless you can simply manually slew to a known star by hand, re-lock your clutches and "re-sync" so that the logic knows where you're pointing again. Is this possible with SynScan fellas? Meade allows for it with their AutoStar system, but with the Skywatcher I'm uncertain.
