Unclamping will not move the ring counters. However you will lose alignment if you loosen the RA/DEC clutches. This can be fixed by: initiating a GOTO to a bright object (assuming the 3-Point data is still active) manually centering the object through the scope eyepiece FOV after the GOTO by loosening the RA/DEC clutch and pushing the tube to bright object’s position.
