I used the sky example because it is typically a subject where sensor spots are more prominent (smaller apertures and expanses of plain tone). But say you shoot a series of any subject with similar content (whether portraits/landscapes, whatever) very often the spot will fall in a similar tone and hence the correct from the first frame will still be valid. Try and then just selct the spotting tool again when you have the next image open etc. You will see the spot marked on the preview and you can tell if you need to adjust it in that individual frame.
